Power-take off operation (PTO) with a manual transmission
Transmission-mounted power take-off units are available for local
installation on Ford vehicles. See your Body Builder’s Layout Book for
restrictions on use and installation of power take-off units.
To engage the PTO unit, stop the vehicle and place the transmission
control in neutral. Depress the clutch and allow the gears to stop
rotating, then engage the PTO unit. The PTO can also be selected with
the transmission in gear as long as the clutch is depressed.
When operating the PTO unit with the vehicle stationary, first set the
parking brake (chock the wheels if the vehicle is on a hill or other
unlevel surface).
BACKING UP
To avoid the possibility of personal injury while backing the
vehicle, always be sure your vehicle’s path is clear.
Before backing your vehicle, be sure you can do so safely. If anything
behind the cab limits your view, do not rely on mirrors alone to assure
that your intended path is clear. If other persons are in the vicinity, have
someone standing well behind the vehicle and outside your intended
path - visible through an exterior mirror - guide you as you back up.
Although OSHA or other governmental regulations may require use of an
electrical or mechanical back-up alarm to warn bystanders, such an
alarm does not assure that the intended path is clear.

An electrical back-up alarm, if installed, is connected to the back-up
lamp circuit.
TWO-SPEED REAR AXLE
General Information
A two-speed rear axle allows the vehicle operator to selectLO rangefor
good starting and pulling power. The operator may also selectHI range
which allows for greater road speed and economy.
LO or HI range can also be used to provide additional steps between
transmission gear ratios when either gradeability or economy are a
driving factor.
Note:The two-speed rear axle should not be shifted while driving with
the speed control engaged.
