OPERATION
10. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE SKID STEER
Always shut the Power Unit 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 Power Unit hitches.
Before disconnecting the mower, the auxiliary hydraulics must be disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop. Lower the mower to the ground. If the mower is not resting securely on the ground, block the mower up securely before attempting to disconnect it from the skid steer hitch.
1.Completely shut down the mower and skid steer and secure the skid steer in position by applying the parking brake. Wait for all movement to come to a complete stop before exiting the skid steer. Never extend any part of your body from the operator’s area to operate latches or to disconnect hydraulic lines or the height limiting safety chain.
2.Disconnect the mower driveline from the skid steer. 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.
3.Remove the height limiting safety chain from the front of the skid steer chassis.
4.Pull the latching handles upward to release the latch pins from the mower hitch tabs.
5.Board the skid steer, fasten your seatbelt, and start the engine. Tilt the mounting plate forward and back away from the mower at the same time. The mower should be released from the skid steer at this point.
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even death.
