11. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER 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. 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 mower to a level storage location and lower it to the ground. If it is not resting securely on the ground, block the mower up securely before attempting to disconnect it from the tractor.

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

Lift Mower-To disconnect the mower, 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 mower. Next remove both lower lift arms.

After disconnecting the hitch points, remove the mower driveline from the tractor PTO shaft. 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.
