PTO Clutch Continuity to Ground Check
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the PTO. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop
and remove the key. Engage the parking brake.
2. Disconnect the clutch wire connector.
3. Set the multi-meter to measure resistance (OHM setting).
4. Connect one multi-meter lead to the engine, chassis or battery ground. Connect the other multi-meter lead to
each of the clutch connector terminals.
5. The two clutch connector terminals should never have continuity to ground and should OPEN at all times.
6. If continuity is found between the PTO connector and ground, the PTO clutch and the PTO switch must be
replaced (Figure 16).
