4. PTO CLUTCH

4.1 CHARACTERISTICS

• PTO clutch body is a wet multiplate hydraulic clutch
and the clutch valve is set to [ON] or [OFF] to supply
the PTO, using PTO switch.
• When PTO clutch is set to [ON], it can be selected
automatically or manually. If PTO switch is selected
to [AUTO] and hydraulic elevating arm located to
lncrease, PTO power will be disconnected automati-
cally. If PTO switch selected to [MANUAL], PTO
power will be transmitted regardless of position of
hydraulic elevating arm.
• The PTO clutch valve has a built-in Modulator valve,
which increases the pressure of the clutch slowly
and takes a role of semi clutch. The PTO clutch body
is installed with a brake system to prevent the clutch
body from rotating due to inertia force in [OFF] and
to stop the PTO shaft accurately.

4.2 HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT

• Reducing valve of the modulator valve assembly
controls the pressure of the oil and flows oil into the
PTO clutch or drain tank in accordance with the so-
lenoid valve control.
