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)
When disconnecting the blade the tractor should be
completely shut down and secured in position, by
lowering the parking jack. Relieve hydraulic
pressure by moving the control levers back and
forth several times. Then 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 blade. Next remove both
lower hitch pins. OPS- 0052_C
11. BLADE STORAGE
Properly preparing and storing the blade at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance and
to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
• Thoroughly clean all debris off the blade to
prevent damage from rotting grass and
standing water.
• Lubricate all blade grease points and fill
gearbox oil levels as detailed in the
maintenance section.
• Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended
torque.
• Check the blade for worn and damaged parts.
Perform repairs and make replacements
immediately so that the blade will be ready for
use at the start of the next season.
• Store the blade in a clean, dry place with the
blade resting securely on blocks or at ground
level.
• Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to
prevent rust and maintain the appearance of
the blade. OPS-0053_D
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off
the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or fall
crushing themselves or others.
