An automatic ‘soft start’ facility is provided on all
models to permit easy start up of heavy, high inertia,
P.T.O.--driven equipment.
Soft start modulates P.T.O. clutch torque over the
first 5 seconds of engagement to provide a slower,
gradual take up of the drive.
NOTE: Soft start only operates at engine speeds of
1800 rev/min and below. Above this speed, normal
P.T.O. engagement will occur.
