PTO
Joystick Operation
Start the engine. See page 41.
Allow the hydraulic system to warm to operating temperature.
Tip: The utility vehicle has both a joystick lockout switch (Item 1) and
a tilt lockout switch (Item 2). When operating PTO driven attach-
ments, the tilt lockout switch will automatically activate. Using the
attachment with the tilt locked out will limit the possibility of tilting
the attachment while the PTO shaft is turning and putting stress
on the PTO driveline u-joints.
Tip: Before engaging the PTO sys-
tem, tilt the attachment to the
desired operating position.
See your attachment Owner's
Manual for detailed informa-
tion.

tions of the joystick will be locked out.
To lockout the tilt function; press the front of the attachment tilt
lock switch (Item 2) to lockout the joystick (Item 3) tilt func-
tion.
