OPERATION
Operating The PTO (HDPTO)
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. Start the engine. See page 39.
2. 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.
3. On the PTO switch, press the center button and
then pull up on the knob to engage the PTO.
4. The light in the dash will illuminate and the
PTO shaft will start rotating. The PTO shaft
RPM will be displayed in the dash.
5. 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.)
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.
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.
WARNING!
• Keep PTO shield and all guards in place.
• Keep away from moving parts.
• Keep bystanders away.
• Do NOT exceed 2000 PTO RPM.
