11.7 Shutting Down the Implement

To shut down attached mower head, first bring the

tractor to a complete stop. Decrease engine RPM

to idle then disengage cutterhead. The mower head

will come to a complete stop within a suitable

amount of time. Do not engage or disengage the

cutterheads at a high RPM unless there is an

emergency situation.

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, and

wait for all motion to come to a complete stop

before exiting the tractor. OPS-U- 0016

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.

Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift

the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the

tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue

Jack for lifting the Implement only. Overloading the Tongue Jack can cause failure with

possible serious bodily injury or even death.
