The blades and blade pan may rotate for
several minutes after PTO is shut off. Look
and listen for rotating driveline to stop

When servicing blades or blade pan, it will
be necessary to work underneath cutter.

corner locations with safety shop stands
to prevent accidental lowering.
Do not position safety stands
under wheel support because these
components can rotate.

end of driveline.
