After disconnecting the mower hitch, remove the
mower 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.
After the driveline has been removed from the tractor,
place the PTO master shield back in the operating
position.
11. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking
brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement and
Tractor hitches. (S3PT-15)
DANGER!
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 the center section and both wings to the ground. If the mower will be
stored with the wings in the raised position, install both wing transport lock braces. 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.
When disconnecting the mower the tractor should be
completely shut down and secured in position. Relieve
hydraulic pressure by moving the control levers back
and forth several times. 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. The jack should be in a near vertical
position with the ground and can be adjusted by
loosening the positioning nut and moving the jack up
to 15 degrees in each direction. Also make sure that
the jack foot is securely resting at ground level or
securely supported by a block before raising the mower.
Once the mower tongue is being supported entirely by
the jack, remove the hitch bolt, locknut, and washers.
Remove the hydraulic hoses from the tractor and secure
to the mower to prevent contact with dirt.
WARNING!
Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift
the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the
tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue
Jack for lifting the Implement only. Overloading the Tongue Jack can cause failure with
possible serious bodily injury or even death. (STI-4)
