(neutral), the circuit returning from the priority valve
via the solenoid valve and the modulating valve to

return spring (7) as directed by the arrow above. As
the force to push the clutch disc disappears, the

Inertial Brake
Brake disc (5) with a protuberance at one section there
of is installed on PTO clutch. Clutch disc (10) is pushed
to clutch case (1) by return spring (7) and PTO clutch is
surely stopped by the protuberance of the brake ring in
contact with the rib of the transmission case if PTO is
OFF.
In addition, this brake application has an advantage of
convenience for installing PTO shaft on the universal
joint while PTO is stopped, because PTO shaft is turned
approx. 60 ~ 80° when PTO is stopped.
