11. DISCONNECTING THE CUTTER FROM THE TRACTOR

DANGER!

Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Mower when disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor 3-point hitch. Always shut the Tractor off completely and set the parking brake before attempting to disconnect the Mower pins from the Tractor hitch.

Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop. Move the cutter to a level storage location and lower it to the ground. If it is not resting securely on the ground, block the cutter up securely before attempting to disconnect it from the tractor.

Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under the cutter and clear of any pinch points caused by the tractor hitch arms and cutter pins.

To disconnect the cutter, first 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 cutter. Next remove both lower hitch pins. Replace removed hitch pins into cutter. With hydraulic pressure relieved, remove hydraulic hose ends from the tractor’s hydraulic ports. Secure hose ends onto cutter to prevent contact with dirt.

After disconnecting the 3 lift points, remove the cutter driveline from the tractor PTO shaft by removing the yoke clamping cone with a 11/16” (17mm) wrench and pulling the driveline yoke off the PTO shaft. If the connecting cone cannot be removed by hand, drive it out from the opposite side using a hammer and punch. 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.
