OPERATION
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-04)
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.
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. OPS-R-0031
