11. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR
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.
(S3PT-15)
DANGER!
Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop. Move the
mower to a level storage location and lower the center section and both wings to the ground. If the mower will
be stored with the wings in the raised position, install both wing and center section transport pins. 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 out from under the mower and clear of any pinch points when disconnecting
the mower from the tractor.
1. When disconnecting the mower, the tractor should
be completely shut down and secured in position.
Relieve hydraulic pressure by moving the control
levers back and forth several times.
2. Lower the parking jack and raise the mower until
the tongue clevis is no longer resting on the tractor
drawbar and is supported solely by the jack. Make
sure the jack foot is securely resting at ground
level or securely supported by a block before raising
the mower.
3. Once the mower tongue is being supported entirely
by the jack, remove the hitch bolt, locknut, and
washers.
4. Remove the mower driveline from the tractor PTO
shaft. Place the driveline in its storage bracket
to prevent it from contacting mud or dirt which
can contaminate the universal joint bearings and
shorten the life of the driveline.
5. Remove the hydraulic hoses from the tractor and
secure to the mower to prevent contact with dirt.
6. After the driveline has been removed from the
tractor, place the PTO master shield back in the
operating position.
WARNING!
Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift
the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the
tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue
Jack for lifting the Implement only. Overloading the Tongue Jack can cause failure with
possible serious bodily injury or even death.
