CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING IMPLEMENT SAFETY
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM BEING CRUSHED BY TRACTOR OR IMPLEMENT:
WHEN connecting mower head to the boom:
•KEEP BYSTANDERS AWAY from tractor and mower.
•Ensure there is enough room to lift and swing the boom with out hitting objects
BEFORE connecting and disconnecting the mower head or boom:
•STOP TRACTOR ENGINE, place transmission into park, engage parking brake and remove key.
WHEN connecting and disconnecting the mower head or boom:
•DO NOT crawl or walk under raised mower head or boom. (Refer to Instructions in Operation Section)
WHEN CONNECTING IMPLEMENT DRIVELINE:(If equipped) TO AVOID implement driveline coming loose during operation:
•LUBRICATE yoke spring locking collar to ensure it freely slides on PTO shaft.
•SECURELY seat yoke locking balls in PTO shaft groove.
•PUSH and PULL DRIVELINE on both the tractor and implement PTO SHAFTS to ensure it is SECURELY
ATTACHED.
TO AVOID broken driveline during operations:
•CHECK driveline for proper length between PTO shaft and implement gearbox shaft.(Refer to Instructions in Operation
Section)
•Drivelines too short can pull apart or disengage.
•Drivelines too long can bottom out.
•Bottoming driveline telescoping assembly will stop sliding and become solid.
•Driveline bottoming can push through support bearings and break off PTO shaft.
CONTACT DEALER if implement driveline does not match Tractor PTO shaft:
•DO NOT USE PTO ADAPTER. Using a PTO adapter can cause:
•Excessive vibration, thrown objects, blade and implement failures by doubling operating speed.
•Increased working length exposing unshielded driveline areas and entanglement hazards. PN
