The PTO system allows for remote engine shutdown while operating the stationary PTO mode. This feature has the following functions:
- Engine shutdown using the operator remote switch: The vehicle wiring system provides remote engine shutdown switch connections, which can be accessed through the PTO upfitter connector.
- Timed auto-engine shutdown: The timed auto-engine shutdown feature provides the means to shut down the engine automatically after a predefined time. PTO must be operational for this function to be active.
- Engine shutdown based on critical engine conditions: The engine can be shutdown when PTO is operating if a critical engine condition is detected by the vehicle system (i.e., low oil, low oil pressure, hot engine, hot transmission, low fuel).
