OPERATION
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 Type 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 hitch pins.
Pull Type Mower- To disconnect the mower, first
relieve hydraulic pressure by moving the control
lever back and forth several times. Lower the
parking jack and raise the mower until the tongue
clevis in no longer resting on the tractor drawbar
and is supported solely by the jack. Make sure that
the jack foot is securely resting at ground level or
supported by a block. Then remove the hitch pin. If
a hydraulic cylinder was used, remove its hose end
from the tractor port and secure it to the mower to
prevent contact with dirt.
Semi Mount Unit-To disconnect the cutter, lower
the cutter to the ground to relieve tension from the
lower link pins. When the pins can rotate freely,
remove them from the swing 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.
