Idle Parameters
Idle/PTO RPM Ramp Rate
FORMERLY - PTO ENGINE RPM RAMP RATE
Description:
The Idle/PTO Ramp Rate parameter defi nes how many
rpm the engine will change in one second when in
Idle Mode or Dedicated PTO Mode. This parameter
determines Accel, Decel and Resume Idle or PTO
Engine rpm rates of increase/decrease. Notice that the
parameter applies to both idle control (rpm set using
cruise control On/Off and Set/Resume switches) and
PTO control (rpm set using PTO On/Off and Set/Resume
switches)

Advantages:
Setting the Idle/PTO Ramp Rate can help reduce work
cycle time by reducing the time it takes to get the engine
up to the preferred RPM.
Disadvantages:
Setting an Idle/PTO Ramp Rate too high could accelerate
the failure of some PTO attachments.
Recommendations:
✔ This programmable feature is application
dependent and should be programmed based on
customer specifi c requirements.
