10. Shutting Down the Implement

To shut down the implement, first bring the tractor to

a complete stop.

Park the tractor on a level surface, place the

transmission in park or neutral and apply the

parking brake, lower the attached implement to the

ground, shut down the engine, remove the key,

before exiting the tractor.

Before disconnecting the cultivator, all movement must cease. Move the implement to a level storage location

and lower the unit to the ground. If the cultivator is not resting securely on the ground, block the implement up

securely before attempting to disconnect it from the tractor.

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

OPS- C-0003

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.

Properly preparing and storing the cultivator at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance

and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:

•

Thoroughly clean all debris off the unit to prevent damage from rotting grass, mud, and standing water.

•

Lubricate all grease points as detailed in the maintenance section.

•

Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.

•

Check the unit for worn and damaged parts. Perform repairs and make replacements immediately so that

the unit will be ready for use at the start of the next season.

•

Store the unit in a clean, dry place resting securely on the level ground.

•

Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the unit.
