SECTION 35 - - HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS - - CHAPTER 6
FRONT POWER TAKE OFF
DANGER
Before using the tractor, check that the plastic guard
(1, fig. 11) is in perfect condition and fitted on the
universal joint.
DANGER
In order to ensure longer life for the coupling and the
electromagnetic clutch, when the front power
take- -off is not being used, select the neutral position
by turning the screw (1, fig. 12) counter- -clockwise.
Driving
To engage the power take--off, press push--button (1,
fig. 13) and pull the knob (2) upwards.
The clutch is electromagnetically operated (3, fig. 5).
Indicator (1 fig. 14) remains illuminated to indicate
that the PTO is engaged.
To disengage the PTO, press knob (2, fig. 13)
downwards.
In the event of slippage due to peaks in torque
caused by the implement shutting down or
particularly firm ground, the control unit causes the
coupling to disengage automatically via a sensor in
the clutch.
Disengagement takes place when the sensor reads
a difference of three revs in 5 seconds between the
driving and driven shaft.
In this event the indicator (1 fig. 14) flashes slowly to
indicate that the coupling is disengaged. To
re--engage the power take--off, press knob (2,
fig. 13) fully down to disengage the clutch, and then
pull upwards to re--engage.
