10.8 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

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 the mower 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.

OPS-R-0030_A

Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Mower

when disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor 3-point hitch.
