    You engage the PTO system... if you have levers between the seats (or, sometimes, to the left of the driver seat), you push in the clutch, pull the lever which activates the PTO, then the second lever will raise and lower the dump body. On some systems, there might be a switch to activate the PTO, and a lever to raise and lower the dump body. I've seen some where there's a simple switch on the dash to activate the PTO. Really depends on which PTO system your truck has, as there are more than one out there.

    Thanks you for your help. I was able to activate the bed with your input! I have an automatic with a mechanical stick on the floor that raises and lowers the bed. Thanks again! -S
