9.4 Shutting Down the Attached Head

To shut down attached boom head, first bring the tractor to a complete stop. Keep the engine speed at normal operating speed of 540 RPM, and push the Motor Switch IN to the Stop position. The mower head will come to a complete stop with in 15 seconds.

ON-OFF Switch

Park the tractor on a level surface, place the transmission in park or neutral and apply the parking brake, shut down the engine, remove the key, and wait for all motion to come to a complete stop before exiting the tractor.

DANGER! BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.

10. TRACTOR, BOOM, AND ATTACHED HEAD STORAGE

Properly preparing and storing the unit 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:

1.Thoroughly clean all debris from boom and head to prevent damage from rotting grass and standing water.

2.Lubricate all grease points and fill oil levels according to the maintenance lubrication schedule.

3.Tighten all bolts to the proper torque. Ensure all pins and other hardware are in place.

4.Check the boom arm and head for worn and damaged parts. Perform repairs and make replacements so that the mower will be ready for use at the start of the next season.

5.Install leg supports to reduce tension on boom and tank during storage.

6.Store the unit in a clean and dry location.

7.Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary on bare metal surfaces to prevent rust and to maintain the appearance of the mower.
