PTO 144
FRONT PTO OPERATION
(if equipped)
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Disengage PTO, stop engine, and allow all
rotating components to come to a complete
stop before connecting, disconnecting,
adjusting, or cleaning any PTO driven
equipment.
A
When the front PTO is not used, keep it off.
The front PTO and rear PTO are independent, and both
PTOs can be operated together or individually.
B
PTO Clutch Control Switch
The PTO clutch control switch engages or disengages the
PTO clutch which gives the PTO independent control.
Pull up the switch knob and tilt it forward, and the PTO
clutch comes "ON" (engage).
Tilt the switch knob backward, and the PTO clutch comes
"OFF" (disengage).
A
To avoid shock loads to the PTO, reduce engine
speed when engaging the PTO, then open the throttle
to the recommended speed.
A If the PTO system is engaged and you stand up from
the seat, the warning buzzer will whistle for about 10
seconds after standing up.
This is because the tractor is equipped with "Operator
Presence Control System".
A
When a high load on the PTO clutch is detected, PTO
clutch control switch ON operation (PTO startup) will
be restricted after a maximum of 5 times running. PTO
startup will be possible again 5 minutes after the
restriction takes effect.
