SECTION 00 - GENERAL INFORMATION - CHAPTER 1
00-23
PARKING THE MACHINE
When cutting is finished:
1. Disengage the tractor PTO. Park the machine on
a level area.
2. Pivot the header to the transport position.
3. Pin the header tilt cylinder in the 2 degree
position.
4. Lower the header to the ground or let the header
rest on the transport stops.
5. Remove the jack from the storage position and
install it to support the tongue.
6. Remove the front PTO from the tractor PTO shaft
and secure it in the hanger bracket.
CAUTION
The tractor end of the primary PTO shaft has a CV
joint which is heavy. Be careful when handling it;
dropping it could cause personal injury to
yourself and damage the CV joint.
7. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and hang them
so the coupler ends do not touch the ground or
loop the hoses around the PTO shaft and feed
the ends back into the front opening of the
tongue.
DANGER
Before disconnecting the lift cylinder hose, be
sure the header is resting on the ground or on the
transport stops. Failure to comply will cause
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Always replace or close all shields after making
repairs, adjustments, or after lubricating. Shields
are for your protection. Keep them in place!
Failure to comply could cause death or serious
injury.
STORING THE MOWER-CONDITIONER
When preparing the mower-conditioner for storage:
1. Clean the mower-conditioner. Remove any
buildup of debris and any wrappage from the
cutter bar components.
2. Lubricate the mower-conditioner completely.
3. Drain the oil from all gearboxes and all modules,
and refill with new, clean oil of the correct
specifications to the correct level. Run the unit for
a few minutes.
4. Inspect for worn or broken parts. Replace with
genuine factory parts.
5. Relieve pressure from the conditioner drive belt.
6. Clean the cutter bar or rusted areas and touch up
with factory paint. Spray cans are available from
your dealer.
7. Store the machine where it is not exposed to the
weather.
8. Park the machine with the transport stops
engaged. If the cutter bar is lowered to the
ground, place wood blocks under the cutter bar
to prevent direct ground contact.
