Power Take Off Operation - If Equipped (Chassis Cab Only); Stationary Mode - RAM Truck 2012 Owner's Manual

80 STARTING AND OPERATING
POWER TAKE OFF OPERATION — IF EQUIPPED
(CHASSIS CAB ONLY)
This vehicle when equipped with either the AS68RC
automatic six-speed or G-56 manual six-speed transmis-
sions, will allow for an aftermarket upfit with a transmis-
sion driven PTO (power take off). The customer will have
the ability to operate the PTO in either a "stationary" or
"mobile" mode. The vehicles will be factory set to the
"stationary" mode. In order to select the "mobile" mode
an authorized dealership is required to modify the vehi-
cle's settings using their proprietary authorized dealer
service tool.
AS68RC Six-Speed Automatic Transmission Only
The PTO drive gear (part of the AS68RC) operates at
torque converter turbine speed. The turbine speed will be
less than engine speed when the torque converter clutch
is not engaged and will be same as engine speed when
the torque converter clutch is engaged.

Stationary Mode

To operate the PTO in this mode the vehicle must meet
the following conditions:
• Be in PARK position (vehicles equipped with auto-
matic transmission)
• Upfitter provider (on/off) switch has been activated
• Parking brake applied (vehicles equipped with
manual transmission)
• Brake pedal must not be applied
• Vehicle engine must be running
• No vehicle, brake or clutch switch faults present
• PTO must be correctly installed using the vehicle
provided circuits
