13. CUTTER STORAGE
It is recommended that the Cutter be stored with the center section and both wings fully lowered to ground
level. If the cutter is stored with the wings in the raised position, select a level area and install wing transport
pins to prevent the wings from falling BEFORE disconnecting the cutter hitch from the tractor.
Properly preparing and storing the implement at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance
and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
1. Clean any dirt or debris off the mower deck.
2. Scrape any accumulated cuttings off the under
side of the deck. Coat the deck underside and
any other exposed metal surfaces with oil to
prevent rusting.
3. If the implement is left unused for an extended
period of time, install the transport pins. Retract
the center cylinder completely. Retracting the
cylinder rods will prevent rusting, ensure that
the cylinders are full of oil and relieve pressure
in the hydraulic circuit. If the cylinder rods are
not retracted, smear grease over exposed rods.
4. Apply grease to exposed threaded adjustment
screws. These include the cylinder depth stop
collar and the frame leveling rod.
5. Install the hitch jack on the jack mount located
on the outer hitch frame.
6. Lubricate all implement grease points and fill

torque.
When disconnecting from the tractor for short period of time, swing the PTO support upright and lay the PTO
driveline into the cradle. When storing the implement for an extended period of time, it is recommended the
driveline be removed from the machine and stored inside.
