After disconnecting the 3 lift 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.
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.
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
hitch pins.
11. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR
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.
DANGER!
