DETACHING AND STORING
Lower the Mower to the Ground. Park the Tractor with the transmission in the correct gear ( Automatic Trans-
mission-- Park; Standard Transmission--Neutral). Set the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove the
key. Wait until the PTO stops rotating before getting down from the tractor .
Disconnect the driveline from the tractor PTO and store it to prevent it from contacting the ground.
Always reinstall the master shield over the trator PTO Shaft. This shield should always remain in place except
when connecting or disconnecting driveline.
