2.14.8 Power Take Off (PTO) Shaft Use
To connect and disconnect power to the power take off (PTO) shaft the double-acting clutch, the PTO gear shift
handle, and the PTO disconnect control handle are used. When the clutch pedal is pushed down part way it
disconnects the engine clutch, and when it is pushed down all the way down it disconnects the PTO clutch. When
the PTO gear shift handle is pushed forwards, it will be in high gear. When the PTO handle is pulled backwards, it
will be in low gear. Use the following method:
•
Remove the rear hitch (only when using the 3-point configuration) and the protective cover on the power take
off (PTO) shaft and connect the farm implement drive to the PTO shaft on the tractor.
•
Depress the clutch pedal to the floor to disconnect the PTO clutch and put the PTO gear shift handle in the
required position (high or low).
•
Depress the clutch pedal to the floor again and turn the PTO disconnect control handle to the "connected"
position.
•
Release the clutch pedal slowly. First operate with the throttle at low speed to check whether the PTO is
working properly.
•
When repeated work in the same place within a short time frame is required, step on the clutch pedal gently to
disconnect the main clutch. This cuts off the power to the tractor transmission, and the tractor stays in one
place while the farm implement behind it can still work normally.
•
To disconnect the PTO depress the clutch pedal to the floor and turn the PTO disconnect control handle to the
"disconnected" position. The PTO gear shift handle does not need to be moved. The PTO shaft will stop
turning.
•
After disconnecting the farm implement from the PTO shaft, reinstall the protective cover over the PTO shaft.
Replace the rear hitch if it had been removed.
WARNING
: Do not attach or detach anything from the PTO shaft while it is turning. Attempting to do
so can cause damage to the equipment and serious injury.
2.14.9 Electrical Equipment Use
