Disconnecting The Snow Blower From The Tractor - Alamo Great White 8650-A Operator's Manual

11. DISCONNECTING SNOW BLOWER FROM THE TRACTOR
DANGER!
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.
Before disconnecting the implement, the PTO must be disengaged and auger rotation at a complete stop. Move
the implement to a level storage location and lower the implement to the ground. If the implement 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 out from under the implement and clear of any pinch points when
disconnecting the implement from the tractor.
DANGER!
Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Unit
when disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor 3-point hitch. Always shut the Tractor
off completely and set the parking brake before attempting to disconnect the Implement
pins from the Tractor hitch.
To disconnect the implement, first extend the tractor
3-point hitch top link to remove tension on the top link
hitch pin. When the pin is loose and easy to rotate,
remove the pin from the implement. Next remove both
lower hitch pins.
After disconnecting the 3 lift points, remove the
implement driveline from the tractor PTO shaft. Lay
the driveline down carefully to avoid damaging the
driveline or its shield. Do not let the driveline fall
into mud or dirt, which can contaminate the bearing
and shorten the life of the driveline.
WARNING!
Do not let the auger turn when the implement is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the
implement exposes the auger which creates a potentially
serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death
from objects thrown from the auger.
