The Smart Start option for the Chelsea 277 and 280 Series Power Take-Offs solves the spike torque issues that are found on higher start up inertias associated with mobile air compressor applications. Smart Start manages the system pressure that is used to engage the P.T.O.'s clutch pack, enabling it to absorb the torque spikes from the air compressor applications and provide a smooth engagement, free from shock loads. It helps protect the transmission by preventing the spike torque found at start up from being transferred downstream into the transmission.
