Three-Point Max Work Position
This is the highest 3-point hitch position that the PTO
is allowed to rotate when engaged.
Note:
Raise the attachment and verify that the
PTO drive shaft does not bottom out or separate by
exceeding the maximum extension.
Raise the attachment to the highest allowed point
and note the height position on the Status Display
screen and enter it into the parameter setting in the
InfoCenter screen (
For paddle controlled attachments, set this height
greater than 3-point turn around position if you want
the attachment to continue to run during the turn
around. The range is 0 to maximum transport height
in increments of 1.
For switch controlled attachments, ensure that the
3-point hitch is between the maximum and minimum
work positions to engage the PTO. Once it is engaged,
it cannot be raised higher until you shut off the PTO.
Note:
Set this position at a lower number than 3-point
turn around position for the attachment to shutoff
during the turnaround of the machine.
Three-Point Min Work Position
This is the lowest 3-point hitch position that the PTO
is allowed to rotate when engaged.
Note:
Lower the attachment and verify that the
PTO drive shaft does not bottom out or separate by
exceeding the maximum extension.
Lower the attachment to the lowest, allowed point
and note the height position on the Status Display
screen and enter it into the parameter setting in the
InfoCenter screen (
For paddle engaged attachments, this is the working
position with the PTO engaged. This prevents the
attachment from going lower than this height due to
the PTO angle being too severe at lower angles.
For switch engaged attachments, ensure that the
3-point hitch is between the maximum and minimum
work positions to engage the PTO. Once it is engaged,
this is the minimum height the attachment is allowed
to be engaged.
Set this to 0, to have the attachment work in the float
position.
The range is 0 to 3 point max work position in
increments of 1. If the PTO is off, lowering the
attachment below this position is possible. You cannot
engage the PTO below the minimum work position.
Setting this position prevents damaging the
attachments that depend on the height off the ground.
An example is a debris blower.
Drop Speed
This controls the 3-point lower rate. It is adjustable
from 10 to 100% in 10% increments.
This helps prevent damage to turf when dropping the
attachment into the turf.
Note:
The speed is relatively consistent regardless
of the attachment weight or the engine rpm.
Use a faster drop speed only when a quick response is
required and the turf is not damaged by the dropping
of the attachment.
Raise Speed
This controls the 3-point raise rate. It is adjustable
from 10 to 100% in 10% increments.
Note:
The speed is affected by the engine rpm. A
slower engine speed results in slower raise speeds.
Application Power Source Speed
•
PTO
POWER
—this is the PTO shaft speed when
the attachment is in the work position. The engine
speed adjusts to meet this speed. It is adjustable
from 220 to 540 rpm in 5 rpm increments.
•
H
YDRAULIC POWER
—this is the engine speed when
the attachment uses hydraulics and is in the work
position. The engine speed will modify to meet this
speed. Engine speed is adjustable from 1200 to
3000 rpm in 100 rpm increments.
Note:
The minimum engine speed is affected by
the air conditioning, automatic DPF cleaning, or
the hydraulic fluid temperature.
Lifted Power Source Speed
This only applies to paddle engaged attachments.
•
PTO power—this is the PTO shaft speed when
the attachment is in the turnaround position. The
engine speed will modify to meet this speed.
It is adjustable from 220 to 540 rpm in 5 rpm
increments.
•
Hydraulic power—this is the engine speed when
the attachment uses hydraulics and is in the
turn-around position. The engine speed will modify
to meet this speed. Engine speed is adjustable
from 1,200 to 3,000 rpm in 100 rpm increments.
PTO Engagement Rate
This controls the speed at which the PTO reaches its
programmed speed.
The types of response are as follows:
•
S
TANDARD
—the PTO engages right away and the
engine ramps up to the application-power source
speed.
