POWER TAKE-OFF (IF EQUIPPED)
HOW DOES THE POWER TAKE-
OFF WORK
Auxiliary equipment called power take-off,
or PTO, is often added to the engine or
transmission to operate utility equipment.
Examples include a wheel-lift for tow
trucks, cranes, tools for construction or tire
service, and pumping fluids. PTO
applications draw auxiliary horsepower
from the powertrain, often while the
vehicle is stationary. In this condition, there
is limited cooling air flow through the
radiator and around the vehicle that
normally occurs when a vehicle is moving.
The aftermarket PTO system installer,
having the most knowledge of the final
application, is responsible for determining
whether additional chassis heat protection
or powertrain cooling is required, and
alerting the user to the safe and proper
operation.
Note: Use of auxiliary equipment that
exceeds the maximum Power Take-Off
(PTO) load specified in our Truck Body
Builders Layout Book can adversely affect
the performance of the powertrain system.
Refer to the Body Builders Layout Book for
instructions about the appropriate
installation of additional equipment.

WHAT IS THE SPLIT SHAFT
CAPABILITY
Split shaft capability is when the output
gear connects directly with the engine to
power your power takeoff (PTO), anytime
the engine is running. This feature is approved as a stationary
mobile power source, within the limits and
operating guidelines detailed in our Truck
Body Builders Layout Book. For additional
