Zetor HORTUS HS CL, Operator'S Manual

Page: 50 / 142

The PTO shaft will not rotate if either of the two switches is in ''OFF'' position. The following table explains
how the PTO operates at the two different (Manual & Auto) positions of the PTO control switch with the PTO
''On / Off'' switch in the on position.
First select the specified speed for the PTO by using the PTO shifter on the LHS, below the driver seat.
z
From the table above we learn about the safety features of the PTO. When the monitor on the dash
panel is blinking it indicates to the operator that the PTO is in the ''On'' position but temporarily not
rotating either because the clutch pedal is pressed or the implement is lifted off the ground or both.
The PTO will start rotating instantaneously when either the clutch pedal is released and / or the
implement is lowered to the ground.
z
The operator must use this blinking signal to clear the area around the tractor off bystanders /
onlookers as the rotating blades of certain implements can accidentally cause injuries to the persons
standing near the tractor.
z
The stopping of the PTO when the implement is lifted off the ground with the position control prevents
the damage to the implement or the PTO shaft.
Warning: When the PTO control switch is in manual position the PTO does not stop rotating
even if the clutch pedal is pressed. If working on hard soils, pavements with a rotary implement the
PTO ''On / Off'' switch must be put to the ''Off'' position to stop the PTO from rotating , if this is not
done the rotating blades of the implement will push on the hard ground below and in turn push the
tractor toward causing accident which can lead to serious injuries or death.
Warning:
z
Extra precaution must be taken to clear the area of bystanders / onlookers when using PTO
driven implements. The rotating blades of the implements can cause serious injuries on
contact. The warning that is indicated by the blinking PTO monitor is to make the operator
aware that the PTO is in on position and will instantly start rotating if the clutch pedal is
released or implement is lowered or both.
z
In no case the specified rotating speeds indicated by the implement manufacturer be crossed
as the same can lead to serious damage to the tractor / equipment and can lead to serious
injuries to persons around.
