Display of the PTO rpm
The front PTO rpm and rear PTO rpm can be displayed in
the LCD screen on the instrument panel.
B External Switch for Rear PTO
Press the external PTO clutch control switch, located on
the left and right fenders, and the rear PTO starts turning.
If you release the switch within 2 seconds, the PTO stops
turning.
Hold down the switch longer than 2 seconds, and the PTO
will keep on turning. (Once in continuous rotation mode,
the warning buzzer sounds for about 10 seconds.) Press
the switch again, and the PTO stops turning.
While the rear PTO is turning, the rear PTO indicator on
the instrument panel stays on.

To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Be sure to observe the PTO shaft speed
prescribed for the individual implements. It is
extremely dangerous to run an implement at
high speed that is meant to be operated at low
speed. Use only when this higher rpm is
specifically recommended by the implement
manufacturer.
Choose from the following 4 PTO operating modes
according to the type of implement or the workload.
Set the Mode Selector Lever to the "NORMAL" mode for
general work and the "ECONOMY" mode for light-duty
work only.
In the ECONOMY mode, the engine runs at low speed,
540 or 1000 rpm, for energy-saving operation.
Using the PTO Gear Shift Lever, select a speed to suit the
implement in use.
C Handling the levers
1. Before handling both the levers, set the PTO clutch
control switch to the OFF (Disengage) position.
2. To shift, hold down the shift lever and move it to the
desired position. If the lever is not pushed down, it
remains locked and no gear shift can be made.
3. When returning the lever to the neutral position, there
is no need to push it down.
