Operation
WARNING
The vehicle may move unexpectedly if the
PTO is engaged and the vehicle is shifted into
gear, which could result in serious injury to
a bystander.
• Do not shift the transmission into gear until
the PTO attachment has stopped rotating,
even if the clutch is depressed.
• Ensure that no bystanders are near the
PTO output shaft or the front or rear of
vehicle.
DANGER
An uncovered rotating spline can catch
clothing and result in serious injury or death.
• When an attachment is not connected to
the PTO shaft, disengage the drive to the
PTO by pulling back on PTO lever.
• The PTO includes a shield. This shield
must remain installed on the vehicle and in
good condition.
• Always disengage the PTO and shut off the
engine before coupling any attachment to
the PTO shaft.
CAUTION
Using attachments with high inertia (i.e.
mowers or blowers) will increase the amount
of force required to shift the vehicle and will
damage the transaxle if frequently shifted.
• Do not shift the vehicle while the vehicle is
moving if the PTO is engaged.
• Always use the optional overrunning clutch
when powering a high-inertia attachment
with the PTO.
Description of Operation
The PTO takes power from the engine, through the
transaxle, and supplies power through a standard
540 rpm-splined shaft at the rear of the vehicle. PTO
power can be used for both mobile and stationary
attachments.
Note:
Refer to attachment Operator's Manual for rpm
recommendations.
