OPERATION Operating The PTO See the attachment Owner's Manual for the correct operating procedure for your attachment. Install the attachment on the utility vehicle. See pages 47-48. Engaging PTO 1. The operator must be in the operator seat to engage the PTO system. If the operator exits the machine with the PTO engaged, the PTO will shut off. Make sure the PTO is in the disengaged (OFF) position before attempting to start the engine. 2. Start the engine. See page 39. 3. Reduce the engine speed. Tip: Do not engage the PTO system at higher engine RPM with the attachment under load. Always engage the PTO system at a lower engine RPM and with the attachment under a no load condition. PTO Switch 4. On the PTO switch, press the center button and then pull up on the knob to engage the PTO. 5. The light in the dash will illuminate and the PTO shaft will start rotating. The PTO shaft RPM will be displayed in the dash. 6. Increase the engine speed to the desired RPM specified for your attachment. See the attachment Owner's Manual for the correct attachment operating RPM. (With engine RPM at 3600, the PTO shaft will rotate at approximately 2000 RPM. Adjust engine RPM to meet the attachment RPM requirement.) PTO Light PTO Shaft RPM Tip: The maximum PTO speed for various attachments may vary. See the attachment Owner's Manual for the maximum speed recommended for your attachment. Tip: When driving over objects (example: a curb), always drive at a slight angle and at slow speed to allow one wheel at a time to go over the object. This will allow maximum ground clearance for the utility vehicle and avoid PTO shaft damage. Disengaging PTO 1. Reduce the engine speed to low idle. 2. Press down on the PTO switch to the disengaged (OFF) position. The light in the dash will turn OFF and the PTO shaft will stop rotating. WARNING Keep PTO shield and all guards in place. Keep away from moving parts. Keep bystanders away. Do NOT exceed 2000 PTO RPM. 64
