5. With the engine at 1000 RPM, engage the
PTO. It is activated by a two-motion switch, 1,
located on the right console. To engage the
clutch, push down on the center button, 1, and
lift up on the outer knob, 2. An indicator lamp
will light on the warning light bar. The PTO has
built-in modulation to provide a smooth
transition during start-up of the PTO clutch.
NOTE: The PTO will not engage if engine
speed is greater than 1400 RPM. If the
engine speed is dropping from above 1400
RPM, the PTO will not engage until the
engine speed drops below 1340 RPM.
Shut the switch off, lower the engine
speed, and turn the switch on.
6. Increase the engine speed to 2100 RPM
before beginning field operation. To display
PTO output speed, turn the rotary select
switch to the “PTO Speed” position.
NOTE: When the engine speed is at 2100
RPM, the PTO speed will be 1000 RPM. Be
sure to adjust the loaded or unload engine
speed to 2100 RPM to maintain 1000 RPM
on the PTO shaft.
7. If possible, lower the engine RPM, disengage
the PTO, and raise the implement before
making sharp turns.
8. Be sure that the park brake is on, the
transmission is in neutral and the tractor is in a
straight line configuration with the articulation
lock engaged for stationary applications.
DANGER: NEVER LEAVE THE TRACTOR
SEAT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING
AND/OR THE PTO ENGAGED.
