OPERATION

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.

12. MOWER STORAGE

Properly preparing and storing the mower 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:

1.Thoroughly clean all debris off the mower to prevent damage from rotting grass and standing water.

2.Lubricate all mower grease points and fill gearbox oil level as detailed in the maintenance section.

3.Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.

4.Check the mower for worn and damaged parts. Perform repairs and make replacements immediately so that the mower will be ready for use at the start of the next season.

5.Store the mower in a clean, dry place with the mower housing resting securely on blocks or at ground level.

6.Keep the driveline yoke from sitting in water, dirt and other contaminants.

7.Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the

mower.

It is critical that the driveline clutch slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid mower and/or tractor damage. If the mower sits outside for an extended period of time or is exposed to rain and/or humid air, the clutch lining plates must be inspected to ensure they are not frozen together from rust or corrosion. If the mower has been exposed to such conditions, at the start of each mowing season, and any time it is suspected that the slip clutch plates may be frozen together, readjust the slip clutch as detailed in Clutch Maintenance section of this manual.OPS-F-0014_A

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.

13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT

Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you finish working in an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By using good judgement and following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized. OPS-U- 0017

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.

Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
