ENGINE POWER TAKE-OFF
ENGINE FRONT-MOUNTED PTO
Power take-off units that are driven from the front of the engine by a drive shaft, have a disconnect feature which is
controlled from the carrier cab by a push-pull control. Engine start and warm-up should be completed prior to PTO
engagement. -
IMPORTANT: THIS UNIT IS ENGAGED OR DISENGAGED BY A DOG TOOTH SLIDING COLLAR WHICH MOVES ON
SPLINES. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THIS ENGAGEMENT BE MADE WITH THE ENGINE STOPPED TO AVOID
DAMAGE TO THE DOG TEETH. IF ENGAGEMENT IS NOT MADE EASILY AND COMPLETELY, ENGAGE ENGINE
STARTER MOMENTARILY WITHOUT ALLOWING ENGINE TO START.
After PTO is engaged, start engine in the normal manner and operate at fast idle to warm-up the hydraulic oil before
accelerating to governed RPM.
Disengagement should be made with the engine stopped. Avoid road travel with the PTO engaged. Check PTO
engagement signal light before any operation.
