PTO OPERATING CONTROLS
Mechanical Transmission
The rear PTO is engaged and disengaged using the
lever. When the lever (1) is backward the rear PTO is
disengaged.
Use the following procedures when operating with PTO
tools, such as mowers, etc.
The tractors have a single clutch. With the PTO engaged
and transmission gears selected, the PTO will start turn-
ing and the tractor will start moving forward as the clutch
is released.
In operations such as mowing grass it will be necessary
to back the tractor up about two tractor lengths away
from uncut grass. This will allow time to start forward
motion and obtain correct PTO speed prior to entering
the area of uncut grass.
To select the rear PTO, push the clutch pedal completely
down to disengage drives to the PTO and transmission.
Lever (1) to
M
position in slot, and the gearshift levers
to selected gear. Release the clutch pedal at slow en-
gine speed to start the PTO and forward travel, then in-
crease engine speed to obtain the required PTO speed.
To select the mid mounted PTO, use the same proce-
dure as outlined rear PTO, but use the mid PTO control
lever. With the clutch pedal fully depressed move the
lever (2) to
M
position to engage the PTO and to
N
position to disengage it.
IMPORTANT: Before moving the rear and mid-PTO
selector levers, the clutch pedal must be
depressed to disengage power to the
drive.
