parking jack and raise the cutter until the tongue clevis is no longer resting on the tractor drawbar
and is supported solely by the jack. the jack should be in a near vertical position with the ground
and can be adjusted by loosening the positioning nut and moving the jack up to 15 degrees in each
direction. also make sure that the jack foot is securely resting at ground level or securely supported
by a block before raising the cutter. Once the cutter tongue is being supported entirely by the
jack, remove the hitch bolt, locknut, and washers. Remove the hydraulic hoses from the tractor and
secure to the cutter to prevent contact with dirt.
after disconnecting the cutter hitch, remove the cutter 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.
after the driveline has been removed from the tractor, place the PtO master shield back in the
operating position.
