Owner`s manual

The customer has the choice to operate the PTO by

utilizing the cruise control switches or by utilizing a

remote control (provided by the PTO supplier). To oper-

ate the feature using the cruise control switches, the

customer must first activate the upfitter-provided on/off

switch which will turn on the PTO. In order to increase or

decrease the engine idle speed, to optimize the PTO

function, the “RESUME/ACCEL” and “DECEL” cruise

switches can be used respectively. To disengage PTO

operation and return to “standard vehicle operation”

simply turn the upfitter-provided on/off switch to the

OFF position.

The torque converter lockup clutch will automatically

engage at engine speeds above 1,200 RPM (engine speed)

in PTO stationarymode. Onceengaged, the lockup clutch

will remain on and not disengage until the engine speed

is below 1,000 RPM. Lockup clutch engagement is desir-

able for certain types of PTO applications (AS68RC

Six-Speed Automatic Transmission Only).

To operate the PTO via a remote switch, the customer

must make sure the above conditions are met. It is vital

for proper operation that the PTO and remote have been

installed correctly, paying special attention to ensure the

vehicle provided wiring has been connected properly.

This is the responsibility of the installer of the PTO and

switches/remote system. It is the responsibility of the

PTOmanufacturer toensure thattheir electrical (switches

and remote) system is compatible with the vehicle’s

electrical architecture and software functionality.

NOTE: If you desire a single PTO speed, your vehicle

must be wired to use a remote PTO switch. For instruc-

tions on programming the SET speed, refer to the

LEARNING SET SPEED section of the Body Builder’s

Guide which can be found at www.ramtrucks.com.
