SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATIONS

POWER TAKE--OFF OPERATION
INDEPENDENT POWER TAKE--OFF --
Figs. 4 and 5
To operate the power take--off, proceed as follows:
-- disengage the power take--off clutch by moving
the lever (1) fig. 4 to the DOWN position;
-- move operation selector lever (1) fig. 5 rearward
to position B;
-- engage the clutch slowly by moving lever (2)
fig. 5 to the UP position so as to start the splined
output shaft turning.
In this case, operation is totally independent of the
tractor ground speed, and you can therefore:
-- stop the tractor without stopping the power
take--off;
-- stop the power take--off without stopping the
tractor (by disengaging the power take--off
clutch).
