controlled by the same contactor that controls the front/main PTO. It <br>
used a blue Anderson PowerPole connector (same pins, but different shell <br>
as an SB50 connector). The rear PTO was also used for later model <br>
tillers. It mounted under the right rear fender. You can download the <br>
installation directions (GEH-4016.pdf) from George's site <br>
(<a href="http://myelec-traks.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">myelec-traks.com</a>). Basically one lead goes to a battery in the rear box <br>
and the other connects to the PTO contactor.<br>
<br>
The rear PTO is often confused with the optional front and rear power <br>
receptacles. The power receptacle is always hot and used for the <br>
booster power pack and the forklift. It also used a PowerPole connector, <br>
but a different color (red and black instead of PTO blue) and mounted on <br>
opposite rear fender.<br>
