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 blade. Next remove both
lower hitch pins. OPS- 0052_C
