939 series Pto engagement

[derby]

Our local DPW picked up a 917? Dump. I stopped by to check them out. they told me they were having trouble getting the pto to engage.
What is the proper procedure?

Thanks,

Essentially, you just engage the service brake or parking brake, put it in gear to stop the internals from spinning, and pull the PTO lever towards you. Sometimes they are a little sticky after sitting for a long time, but tend to limber up with use.
