4.12.2 - Engaging the power take-off
To engage PTO, a PTO speed must be selected first (see
preceding paragraph).
Engaging PTO in manual mode:
To engage PTO, press the control "ON (active) or OFF" (de-
activated) button (19 Fig. 36). The PTO engaged indicator
light (6 Fig. 37) stops flashing and stays on continuously. At
the same time, a PTO engaged symbol appears on the dig-
ital display (7 Fig. 37).
NOTE: The PTO clutch automatically adapts to the con-
ditions required to start the implement.
To stop the PTO, press the PTO control button (19 Fig. 36)
again.
Engaging PTO in automatic mode:
This function allows the PTO to be automatically stopped
temporarily when the linkage control is in Lift position (e.g.:
operation at headlands).
For this, press the PTO control button to engage automatic
mode (22 Fig. 36). The PTO engaged indicator light (6 Fig.
37) stops flashing and stays on continuously. The PTO en-
gaged symbol (7 Fig. 37) and AUTO symbol (9 Fig. 37) ap-
pear on the digital display.
When the linkage control is activated in Lift position, the
PTO stops turning. In this case, the indicator light (7 Fig. 37)
disappears, and the indicator lights (6 and 9 Fig. 37) flash.
When the linkage control is activated in Lower position, the
PTO is switched back on.
NOTE: If the Lower control is not activated within
90 seconds or the ground speed increases to over
25 kph, the PTO is switched off permanently.
