Pto Gear Shift Lever; Pto Speed Limiter - Kubota M5N-091 Operator's Manual

BPTO Gear Shift Lever
To avoid personal injury or death:
A Be sure to observe the PTO shaft speed
prescribed for the individual implements. It is
extremely dangerous to run an implement at
high speed that is meant to be operated at low
speed. Use only when this higher rpm is
specifically recommended by the implement
manufacturer.
The PTO gear shift lever can be set to either 540 rpm or
540E rpm positions.
Move this lever to either position with the PTO clutch
control switch set to "OFF".

A When light load, select the "540E" position for
economical operation.

BPTO Speed Limiter
A Move the PTO gear shift lever (if equipped) to "540E"
and then turn on the PTO clutch control switch, and the
rev-limiter indicator lights up on the meter panel.
A If the PTO clutch control switch is turned on with the
engine rpm higher than the PTO 540E limit level, the
PTO clutch indicator on the meter panel starts blinking
and the PTO is disabled. After a while, the engine rpm
automatically drops below the PTO 540E limit level
and the PTO starts functioning. At the same time, the
flashing PTO clutch indicator stays "ON".
A If the PTO clutch control switch is turned "OFF" but the
engine rpm fails to rise with the throttle, return the
engine rpm to a lower level. This enables acceleration
again.
