Engaging & Disengaging Front Pto (If Equipped); Cold Weather Operation - Northern Lights OM-C3 Operator's Manual

Engaging And Disengaging Front PTO (If
Equipped)
CAUTION: Entanglement in rotating driveline
can cause serious injury or death. Keep shield
on PTO driveshaft between clutch housing and
the engine driven equipment at all times during
engine operation. Wear close fitting clothing.
Stop the engine and be sure PTO driveline is
stopped before making adjustments.
CAUTION: Metal surfaces of PTO housing may be
hot to the touch during operation or at shutdown.
The optional front power take-off (PTO) from John Deere
transfers engine power to auxiliary equipment or moving
components.
The PTO clutch is electric and engaged by a switch.
Engage the clutch on propulsion engines at engine speeds
below 1200 rpm. Engage Gen-Set engines at no load rpm.

Cold Weather Operation

Additional information on cold weather operation is
available from your engine distributor or authorized
servicing dealer.
Some engines are equipped with an air intake heater
which will make starting the engine easier in cold weather.
If equipped, follow steps 1–4 as listed under STARTING
THE ENGINE, earlier in this section. Switch on the air
intake heater for 30 seconds and then proceed to operate
the starter. Follow remaining steps 5–11.
Synthetic oils improve flow at low temperatures, especially
in arctic conditions.
CAUTION: Starting fluid is highly flammable.
DO NOT use starting fluid on engines equipped
with air intake heaters.
DO NOT use starting fluid near fire, sparks,
or flames. DO NOT incinerate or puncture
a starting fluid container.
Engine Operation
If the power take-off does not work properly, contact your
authorized servicing dealer or engine distributor.
