12. DISCONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT
1. Select a firm level site.
2. Replace the stand leg to the park position with foot down.
3. Position the arms so that the motor is level with the bottom of the frame.
4. Disconnect the supply and return hoses and also the motor drain line from the tractor.
5. Raise tractor linkage to take the weight off the yoke. Where a common top link and yoke position is used,
the yoke must be unbolted in the middle. If different top link location are used, the yoke must be unbolted
at the top.
6. Lower the machine to the ground and disconnect the three point linkage. Remove top halves of the yoke if
still attached to tractor.
7. Use chain to tie the hydraulic control valve back to the main arm. This will make it easier for subsequent
coupling up.
8. Blank off hose ends or loop the hoses and join with coupling.
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set
the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the
tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor
from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine
is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.
(SG-9)
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.
(S3PT-15)
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off
the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or fall
crushing themselves or others.
(SG-25)
13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
Inherent hazards of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind
when you finish working in an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation
practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By using good judgement and
following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be
substantially minimized. OPS-U- 0017
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
