Attachment Drive (PTO)
GM325/GM345
Pto Operation
1. The power take-off (PTO) system transmits power from the engine to the cutting deck or other implement
attached to the front of the machine.
2. The PTO lever has two positions: ON (engage) and OFF (disengage). To engage the PTO shaft, slowly
push the PTO lever fully forward to the ON position; this will start the implement or cutting unit blades.
Slowly pull the lever backward to the OFF position to stop the implement’s operation. The only time the PTO
lever should be in the ON position is when the implement or cutting unit is down in the operating position
and the operator is in the seat.
