Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
In-cab PTO Switch
The PTO switch is mounted in the right side of the center instrument panel. The PTO switch is a four position rocker type: 1, 0, SET - and RES +. When the PTO 1 position is depressed, the PTO relay will be energized by the PTOM. A PTO LED indicator is integrated with the switch. The indicator will illuminate, flashing at a 0.25 second interval rate when the PTO relay is energized. The indicator illuminates solid once the PTO load feedback signal confirms the load has been engaged or after 3 seconds if load feedback is not utilized by the PTO system. The indicator will flash at a 1 second interval rate when PTO memory speed is retained. Depressing the 0 position turns the PTO system off. The PTO LED will turn off once engine speed reaches base engine idle, at which time the PTO relay is de-energized.
