OPERATION

9.2 Shutting Down the Implement

Park the tractor on a level surface, place the transmission in park or neutral and apply the parking brake, lower the attached implement to the ground, shut down the engine, remove the key, and wait for all motion to come to a complete stop before exiting the tractor. OPS-BL- 0002

10. DISCONNECTING THE BLADE FROM THE TRACTOR

Before disconnecting the blade, all movement must cease. Move the blade to a level storage location and lower the unit to the ground. If the blade is not resting securely on the ground, block the blade up securely before attempting to disconnect it from the tractor.

Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under the blade and clear of any pinch points. OPS- 0051_A

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 mower. Next remove both lower hitch pins. OPS- 0052_A
