Is it documented anywhere that you should not engage the blade PTO at high engine RPM? Seems to me that it is less harmful to do so at a low RPM. Any thoughts out there? Thanks

Your owners manual has the information you are looking for, it state never engage the deck at high rpm or under load.
I suggest ab out 3/4 throttle when the engine is cold, less when its hot / warmed up.
You likely wont be able to engage it to low, it could stall the engine.
