OPERATION
When disconnecting the mower the tractor should be completely shut down and secured in position. Relieve hydraulic pressure by moving the control levers back and forth several times. Lower the parking jack and raise the mower until the tongue clevis is no longer resting on the tractor drawbar and is supported solely by the jack. The jack should be in a near vertical position with the ground and can be adjusted by loosening the positioning nut and moving the jack up to 15 degrees in each direction. Also make sure that the jack foot is securely resting at ground level or securely supported by a block before raising the mower. Once the mower tongue is being supported entirely by the jack, remove the hitch bolt, locknut, and washers. Remove the hydraulic hoses from the tractor and secure to the mower to prevent contact with dirt.
After disconnecting the mower hitch, remove the mower driveline from the tractor PTO shaft. Place the driveline in its storage bracket to prevent it from contacting mud or dirt which can contaminate the universal joint bearings and shorten the life of the driveline.
After the driveline has been removed from the tractor, place the PTO master shield back in the operating position.
