Power take-off switch

<Vehicles with transmission PTO>
CAUTION
•
While using the PTO, check that the
cator lamp is not flashing. If the PTO is used
for a long time with the indicator lamp flash-
ing, the engine output can change, resulting
in an accident. If the indicator lamp is flash-
ing before you use the PTO, first perform
parked DPF regeneration. If the indicator
lamp starts flashing while you are using the
PTO, stop work and perform parked DPF
regeneration. Refer to "Parked DPF regener-
ation" on page 5-58.
•
Before operating the PTO, be sure to apply
the parking brake and, if the vehicle has a
DUONIC system, place the gearshift lever in
the "P" position. The PTO will work with the
gearshift lever in the "N" position, but you
should use it with the gearshift lever in the
"P" position for safety. If the gearshift lever
is in any position other than "P" or "N", the
vehicle may move, resulting in an accident.
Making sure the parking brake is applied
and, if the vehicle has a DUONIC system,
that the gearshift lever is in the "P" position
is particularly important when you control
the engine from outside the vehicle while
using the PTO.
•
Disengage the PTO before driving the vehi-
cle. Driving the vehicle with the PTO
engaged could cause the body-mounted
equipment to operate, resulting in an acci-
dent. It could also cause the body-mounted
equipment to break down.
NOTE:
•
The transmission power take-off (PTO) is a
device that enables power to be taken from the
transmission and used to drive a hydraulic pump
or other equipment.
•
Automatic DPF regeneration and parked DPF
regeneration are not possible while the PTO is
being used.
•
With a vehicle that has a DUONIC system, mov-
ing the gearshift lever to any position other than
"P" or "N" while the PTO is engaged or pushing
the PTO switch while the vehicle is being driven
