I have a M7060 tractor that I want to run a PTO driven water pump. The pump needs to run for about 1/2 hour or so. The problem is that if I leave the tractor seat with the PTO running a buzzer goes off. I know it's a nice safety feature, but in this instance it isn't. Is there a way I can have this feature turned temporarily off or do I need to install it thru a switch?

Thanks...

If it is a loud sound that is annoying as hell, just find the buzzer, pull of the lead if possible, and if you ever sell it - place it back on! ;)

On Bx's you have to lean the seat forward just to get it to work that way, I take it is not that way on M7060?

Okay,

Did some checking...

The buzzer, which is fairly loud, just sounds for about 10sec then quits on its own. I guess I can live with that. If I can't, I guess I put it on a switch since I can't find a way to turn it off via the manufacturer.

I think because of major possibility of a lawsuit if a pto accident occurred manufacturer will not publish how to disable the warning buzzer.My M7040 is similar to M7060 as buzzer only sounds off for a short period of time when pto is on with no operator is seated.
