USING THE PTO SELECTION LEVER
The position of the PTO selection lever will deter- mine whether the rear PTO, mid PTO, or both PTO’s will be engaged when the PTO switch is activated.
WARNING: NEVER shift the PTO selec- tion lever while the PTO is engaged. Damage to internal components will occur.
•Shift the PTO selection lever rearward to select the rear PTO. The rear PTO is used to drive equipment designed to operate at an input speed of 540 RPM. See Figure 19.
•Shift the PTO lever forward to select the mid PTO. The mid PTO is used to drive equipment designed to operate at an input speed of 2000 RPM.
•Shift the PTO lever to the middle position to select both the mid PTO and rear PTO. In this position the mid PTO and rear PTO will run simultaneously when the PTO switch is activated.

NOTE: Occasionally you may not be able to shift from one PTO selection to another due to slight gear misalignment between the internal shift collar and gears. In these instances if will be necessary to ‘jog’ the PTO while shifting the selection lever. Momentarily engage the PTO while applying pressure to the shift lever to fully engage the internal gears.
