2000 RPM Rear PTO
Installation Instructions
Install Rear PTO Switch
1. Using the template (A, Figure 6) and a scratch awl,
scribe the switch hole pattern into the lower left cor-
ner of the dashboard as shown.
2. Drill out the corners,of the area to be cut out.
3. Cut the plastic dashboard along the scribed pattern.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT AWAY TOO MUCH
MATERIAL. If the hole is made too large, the switch
will pull out of the dashboard. Excess material can
be easily removed with a flat file.
NOTE:
If
you should accidentally remove too much
material, the template can be used as a switch mounting
p/ate,
Remove an additional l/16” of material from the
hole and secure the template to the dashboard using two
10-32x
l/2
truss head screws, washers, and nuts.
4. Install the switch into the dashboard. Test the fit by
activating the,switch several times.
Connect Wiring
1. Locate the rear PTO switch plug on the main wiring
harness behind the dashboard. Remove the jumper
(A, Figure 7) from the harness plug and connect the
harness to the rear PTO switch.
2. Connect the rear electric PTO clutch to the plug (A,
Figure 8) located on the rear wire harness under the
right rear wheel well.
Burnish PTO Clutch
After installing the PTO box and the attachment to be
used with the PTO box, the electric clutch must be bur-
nished. The purpose of burnishing the electric clutch is
to burn off coatings on parts that are there to prevent
corrosion before initial use. Burnishing is necessary to
assure correct stopping times.
1. Select a safe area to operate the PTO. With the
parking brake engaged, the PTO switch disengaged,
and an operator in the seat, start the tractor engine.
Run the engine at full throttle.
2. Engage the PTO switch and run the attachment for
fifteen seconds. Disengage the PTO switch and wait
for the PTO to stop.
