OPERATION OF THE POWER TAKE-OFF
(PTO)
1. Before attaching the PTO, stop the tractor
engine.
WARNING
To reduce the possibility of personal injury,
comply with the following guidelines before
attaching or detaching PTO equipment, and
before working on or clearing PTO equipment.
••••
Depress the clutch pedal completely and
move the transmission range lever to the
“NEUTRAL” (N) position.
••••
Set the parking brake.
••••
Disengage the PTO using the PTO control
lever.
••••
Remove the PTO cap.
••••
Wait until the PTO shaft stops turning.
••••
Attach the mounted or drawn equipment.
Make sure the equipment-driven shaft is
properly aligned and locked to the tractor
PTO drive shaft and that the PTO shield is
down in the guarded position.
2. With the PTO disengaged, start the engine. For
mounted equipment, raise and lower the
equipment to ensure there are proper clear-
ances.
3. With the transmission in neutral, depress the
clutch pedal completely, then engage the rear
PTO by moving the PTO control lever forward. To
engage the optional mid PTO, move the mid PTO
forward.
IMPORTANT: The PTO may be damaged if
the PTO lever is not moved through its full
range.
4. Check the PTO-driven equipment for proper
operation by gradually releasing the clutch pedal
and increasing engine RPM.
5. If the equipment is operating properly, depress
the clutch pedal and shift to the desired operating
gear. Release the pedal gradually to start the
PTO and tractor in motion.
6. Control the PTO speed using the throttle. Never
operate in an overspeed condition.
7. When making sharp turns with pull-type
equipment or with mounted equipment in the fully
raised position, disengage the rear PTO using
the PTO control lever.
8. When traveling on highways or for any great
distance, disconnect the PTO-driven shaft at the
tractor PTO shaft.
9. Reinstall the PTO shaft cap when PTO-driven
equipment is disconnected from the tractor, or
when the PTO is not being used.
WARNING
To avoid inadvertent movement of PTO imple-
ment, disengage the PTO after each use.
