FX-520 06/16 Operation Section 4-42

OPERATION

Before disconnecting the cutter, the PTO must be disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop. Move the

cutter to a level storage location and lower the center section and both wings to the ground. If the cutter will be

stored with the wings in the raised position, install both wing transport lock pins. If the cutter is not resting

securely on the ground, block the cutter up securely before attempting to disconnect it from the tractor.

Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under the cutter and clear of any pinch points.

1. When disconnecting the implement the tractor

should be completely shut down and secured in

position. Relieve hydraulic pressure by moving

the control levers back and forth several times.

Pivot the jack to near vertical by rotating the

jack mount. Loosen the top ¾” bolt and remove

the bottom one. Reinsert the bolt when the one

of the rows of teeth line up with a hole on the

hitch frame. Tighten both bolts. Lower the

parking jack and raise the mower until the

tongue clevis is no longer resting on the tractor

drawbar and is supported solely by the jack.

Also make sure that the jack foot is securely

resting at ground level or securely supported by

a block before raising the implement. Once the

implement tongue is being supported entirely

by the jack, remove the pin.

2. Remove the hydraulic hoses from the tractor

and secure to the implement in the provided

hose holder to prevent contact with dirt.

3. Remove the implement driveline from the

tractor PTO shaft. Place the driveline in its

storage bracket to prevent it from contacting

mud or dirt which can contaminate the universal

joint bearings and shorten the life of the

driveline.

4. After the driveline has been removed from the

tractor, place the PTO master shield back in the

operating position.
