11. MOWER STORAGE
It is recommended that the mower be stored lowered to ground level. If the mower is stored in the raised
position, select a level area and ensure the wing is locked to prevent unexpected falling BEFORE
disconnecting the mower 3-point hitch and hydraulics from the tractor.
Properly preparing and storing the mower 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.
Thoroughly clean all debris off the mower to prevent damage from rotting grass and standing water.
2. Lubricate all mower grease points and fill hydraulic tank oil level as detailed in the maintenance section.
3. Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.
4. Check the mower for worn and damaged parts. Perform repairs and make replacements immediately so
that the mower will be ready for use at the start of the next season.
5. Store the mower in a clean, dry place with the mower housing resting securely on blocks or at ground level.
6. Keep the driveline yoke from sitting in water, dirt and other contaminants.
7. Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the mower.
It is critical that the driveline clutch slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid mower and/or
tractor damage. If the mower sits outside for an extended period of time or is exposed to rain and/or humid air,
the clutch lining plates must be inspected to ensure they are not frozen together from rust or corrosion. If the
mower has been exposed to such conditions, at the start of each mowing season, and any time it is suspected
that the slip clutch plates may be frozen together, readjust the slip clutch as detailed in Clutch Maintenance
section of this manual.
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.

substantially minimized. OPS-U- 0017
