The PTO does shall not rotate when one of the two switches is in the OFF position
The following table explains how the PTO operates in two different positions (Manual & Auto) of the PTO
control switch with the PTO ON / OFF switch in the ON position.

The table above shows the PTO safety features. When the indicator light on the dashboard flashes, it

indicates to the operator that the PTO is in the 'ON' position, but does not temporarily rotate either
because the clutch pedal is depressed or because the implement is lifted off the ground, or both. The
PTO starts to rotate immediately when the clutch pedal is released and / or the implement is lowered
to the working position.
The operator must ensure that there are no persons in the operating area of the tractor due to

possible bouncing of objects or particles from the rotating working parts of the implement and the
intervention and injuries of persons near the working unit.
Stopping the PTO, when lifting the implement from the ground together with a position check,

prevents damage to the implement or PTO.
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.
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.
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.
