Power Take-Off (PTO)
The vehicle may have
power take-off (PTO). The
PTO switch is located
on the instrument panel.
An indicator in the switch comes on to show PTO is
active. SeeHigh Idle System on page 2-20for
more information.
A PTO is a gearbox or mechanical device used to
transmit mechanical power from the powertrain, through
gears or a transmission, to another mechanical or
hydraulic device. Before using a PTO, refer to the
manufacturer’s or installer’s instructions.
Four-Wheel Drive
If the vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send the
engine’s driving power to all four wheels for extra
traction. To get the most satisfaction out of four-wheel
drive, you must be familiar with its operation. Read
the part that follows before using four-wheel drive. You
should use two-wheel drive high for most normal
driving conditions.
Notice:Driving on clean, dry pavement in
four-wheel drive for an extended period of time can
cause premature wear on the vehicle’s powertrain.
Do not drive on clean, dry pavement in Four-Wheel
Drive for extended periods of time.
