Dedicated PTO Parameters
PTO Shutdown Time (0 = off)
Description:
PTO Shutdown Time is the time (in minutes) the engine
will operate in PTO mode before shutting down. The
timer will only count with no vehicle speed and the PTO
On/Off circuit ON. The PTO Shutdown Timer will not
begin counting if the engine is in Cold Mode.
This parameter is not available unless the PTO
Confi guration parameter is programmed to Cab
Switches, Remote Switches, Remote Throttle, or Remote
Throttle & J1939 Speed Command.
Note: This feature does not shut down vehicle power.
The ECM and vehicle will remain powered.

Advantages:
The PTO Shutdown Timer can limit unnecessary PTO
time, save fuel and reduce engine wear.
Disadvantages:
When the engine shuts down as a result of the PTO
Shutdown Timer the truck’s dash remains “hot”. To avoid
draining the batteries the ignition key must be switched
to the “off” position after the engine shuts down.
