OPERATION
10.6 Shutting Down the Mower
To shut down the mower, first bring the tractor to a complete stop. Then slow down the mower by reducing the engine speed before disengaging the PTO. Wait for all rotating motion to stop before proceeding to drive or shut down the tractor.
Park the tractor on a level surface, place the transmission in park or neutral and apply the parking brake, lower the attached mower 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.
11. DISCONNECTING FLEX-ARM & MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR
OPERATION
DANGER!
WARNING!
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.
Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue Jack for lifting the Implement only. Overloading the Tongue Jack can cause failure with possible serious bodily injury or even death.
Before disconnecting the mower and flex arm, the PTO must be disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop. Move the mower and flex arm to a level storage location and lower the center section and both wings to the ground. If the mower will be stored with the wings in the raised position, install both wing and center section transport pins. If the mower 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 out from under the mower and clear of any pinch points when disconnecting the mower from the tractor.
