OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Mid PTO

The Mid PTO has a 25.4 mm (1 inch) diameter 15 spline output shaft.

ENGAGE THE MID PTO AS FOLLOWS:

1.Push the clutch pedal fully.

2.Move the Mid PTO control lever forward.

3.Release the clutch pedal slowly.

DISENGAGE THE MID PTO AS FOLLOWS:

1.Push the clutch pedal fully.

2.Move the Mid PTO control lever to the OFF (Engine Start) slot.

NOTE: Keep the Mid PTO control lever in the OFF (Engine Start) slot when starting the engine and when the PTO is not being used.

3.Release the clutch pedal.

The following table shows the required engine speed to get the required Mid PTO output shaft speed.

Power Takeoff Guards

All tractors have a safety guard for the Rear PTO shaft and a safety cover for the Mid PTO shaft

Rear Pto Guard Mid Pto Cover

Whenever a PTO driven machine is in operation, the PTO guard must be in place for most operations to prevent injury to the operator or bystanders. Where attachments, such as pumps, are installed on the PTO shaft (especially if the tractor PTO guard is moved upward or removed) extended shielding equivalent to the PTO guard must be installed with the attachment. Install the PTO guard to its original position immediately when the attachment is removed.

Pto Operating Safety

For the safe operation of the PTO, follow these safe operating procedures.

Three Point Hitch Connecting Implements

1.Connect the implement to the hitch. See THREE POINT HITCH SYSTEM in this manual.

2.Connect the implement driveline to the tractor.

3.Check the driveline for correct length and for free telescopic movement by lifting and lowering hitch system. The correct length is important to prevent the driveline from hitting bottom or from separating in any tractor implement operating position.

Drawbar Connecting Implements

1.Connect the implement hitch to the drawbar with a hardened steel pin. Make sure the pin is securely held in place with a cotter pin or lock pin and does not make contact with the implement driveline.

2.Connect the implement hitch to the tractor drawbar before connecting the implement driveline to the PTO.

3.Connect the implement driveline to the tractor. Check the driveline for correct length and for free telescopic movement. The correct length is important to prevent the driveline from hitting bottom or from separating in any tractor or implement operating position.

PTO driven machinery can cause serious injury. Before working on or near the PTO shaft, or servicing or clearing the driven machine, put the PTO lever in the DISENGAGE position and STOP the engine.

When doing stationary PTO work and dismounting from the tractor with the PTO running, keep clear of all moving parts as they are a potential safety hazard.

IMPORTANT: Follow the implement manufacturers recommendations in adjusting and aligning the implement and implement driveline with the tractor.
