OPERATION
Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be disengaged and all motion at a complete stop. Move the
mower to a level storage location and lower both wings to the ground. If the mower will be stored with the
sections in the raised position, be sure that the locks are engaged. 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 from under the mower and clear of any pinch points.
W
hen disconnecting the mower, the tractor
s
hould be completely shut down and secured in
p
osition. Relieve hydraulic pressure by moving
t
he control levers back and forth several times.

ower the parking jack and raise the mower until
t
he tongue clevis is no longer resting on the
t
ractor drawbar and is supported solely by the

t
he positioning nut and moving the jack up to 15
d
egrees in each direction. Also make sure that
t
he jack foot is securely resting at ground level or
s
ecurely supported by a block before raising the
m

h
ydraulic hoses from the tractor and secure to the

A
fter disconnecting the mower hitch, remove the
p
ump from the speed increaser. If the pump will
