11. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR
Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be
disengaged and all motion at a complete stop.
Move the mower to a level storage location and
lower to the ground. If the mower is not resting
securely on the ground, block the mower up
securely before attempting to disconnect it from
the tractor. Use extreme care to keep feet and
hands from under the mower and clear of any
pinch points.
To disconnect the implement, first extend the
tractor 3-point hitch top link to remove tension on
the top link hitch pin. When the pin is loose and
easy to rotate, remove the pin from the mower.
Next remove both lower hitch pins.
Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under the mower and clear of any pinch points.
OPS-F-0012_A
After disconnecting the 3 lift points, remove the
mower driveline from the tractor PTO shaft. Lay the
driveline down carefully to avoid damaging the
driveline or its shield. Do not let the driveline fall
into mud or dirt, which can contaminate the
bearing and shorten the life of the driveline.
OPS-F-0013
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component
unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent
sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even
death.
(SG-14)
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
