Abstract
A power take off device that includes a clutch that is engaged by a pressure operated actuator. The pressure operated actuator may be a two directional fluid pressure operated actuator that selectably engages the clutch. A single input signal may operate the two directional fluid pressure operated actuator in both directions. In one mode of operation of the power take off device, a substantial speed reduction and torque increase is provided between the input shaft and the output shaft to start rotating the blower and to overcome the inertial start up resistance of the blower. The power take off device may change to a second mode of operation without stopping to provide a direct one to one speed and torque ration between the input shaft and the output shaft.
