Power Takeoff (PTO) Governor

m2 wm 07.11.000

Engine power takeoffs (PTO) are devices used to tap into engine power to run auxiliary devices, such as hydraulic pumps that power additional equipment. The following instructions are general guidelines for operating a PTO.

  1. Set the parking brake and put the transmission in neutral.
  2. Press the dash-mounted PTO switch. Release the switch when the amber light behind the switch begins to blink.

    When the light is steadily illuminated, the PTO is engaged and ready to operate. In stationary mode, the vehicle must remain in neutral with the parking brake set.

  3. To activate the mobile mode, shift from neutral to reverse, 1st, or 2nd gear. The clutch will open and the PTO will disengage for a moment.
  4. Touch the throttle pedal to close the clutch and engage the PTO in mobile mode. The PTO may be operated with the transmission in reverse, neutral, 1st, or 2nd gears only.

    5. Note: Do not attempt to change gears while the vehicle is moving. The transmission will ignore the request.

  5. To end the mobile mode, bring the vehicle to a stop. The clutch will open and shut down power to the PTO.
  6. To resume stationary mode, shift to neutral. The PTO will engage.
  7. To end stationary mode, press the dash switch. When the light in the switch goes out, power to the PTO is shut off.
