PTO Clutch Lever

1. The PTO clutch lever engages or disengages the PTO

clutch which gives the PTO independent control.

2. Shift the lever to "ON" to engage the PTO clutch. Shift

the lever to "OFF" to disengage the PTO clutch.

A

To avoid shock loads to the PTO, reduce engine
throttle from full to half speed by pushing up on engine
throttle when engaging the PTO, then re-engage the
engine to full.

A

To avoid damage to PTO clutch and implement, shift
the PTO clutch lever slowly, when engaging the PTO
clutch. Do not keep the PTO clutch lever half way.

A

Tractor engine will not start if the PTO clutch lever is in
the engaged "ON" position.

A

When you stand up from the seat with the PTO clutch
lever at "ON" (Engaged) position, the engine will stop
regardless of the position of the PTO select lever.
This is because the tractor is equipped with Operator
Presence Control system (OPC).

B

PTO Shaft Cover and Shaft Cap

Keep the PTO shaft cover in place at all times. Replace
the PTO shaft cap when the PTO is not in use. Before
connecting or disconnecting a drive shaft to PTO shaft, be
sure engine is "OFF" and raise up the PTO shaft cover.
Afterward be sure to return the PTO shaft cover to
"NORMAL POSITION".

The universal joint of the PTO drive shaft is technically
limited in its moving angle. Refer to the PTO Drive
Shaft Instructions for proper use.
