After disconnecting the 3 lift points, remove the
cutter driveline from the tractor PTO shaft by
removing the yoke clamping cone with a 11/16”
(17mm) wrench and pulling the driveline yoke off
the PTO shaft. If the connecting cone cannot be
removed by hand, drive it out from the opposite side
using a hammer and punch. 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.

Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be
disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop.
Move the cutter to a level storage location and lower
it to the ground. If it is not resting securely on the
ground, block the cutter up securely before attempting
to disconnect it from the tractor.

Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under
the cutter and clear of any pinch points caused by the
tractor hitch arms and cutter pins.

To disconnect the cutter, 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 cutter. Next remove both lower hitch
pins. Replace removed hitch pins into cutter. With
hydraulic pressure relieved, remove hydraulic hose
ends from the tractor’s hydraulic ports. Secure hose
ends onto cutter to prevent contact with dirt.

11. DISCONNECTING THE CUTTER FROM THE TRACTOR

Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Mower
when disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor 3-point hitch. Always shut the Tractor
off completely and set the parking brake before attempting to disconnect the Mower pins
from the Tractor hitch.

DANGER!
