OPERATION

OPERATION

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

11. BLADE STORAGE

Properly preparing and storing the blade 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:

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

Lubricate all blade grease points and fill gearbox oil levels as detailed in the maintenance section.

Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.

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

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

Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the blade. OPS-0053_D

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.
