Disconnecting The Mower From The Tractor - RHINO FM84A Operator's Manual

11. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR

DANGER!
Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Mower
when disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor. Always shut the Tractor off completely
and set the parking brake before attempting to disconnect the Mower pins from the Tractor
hitch.
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 it to
the ground. If it 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 caused by
the tractor hitch arms and mower pins.
Lift Mower-To disconnect the mower, 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 mower. Next remove
both lower lift arms.
After disconnecting the hitch points, remove the
mower 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.
