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 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.

(STI-4)

Lift-Type Mower - To disconnect the mower, first

extend the tractor 3-point hitch top link to remove

tension on the top link hitch pin. When the pin is

loose and easy to rotate, remove the pin from the

mower. Next remove both lower hitch pins.

Pull-Type Mower - To disconnect the mower, first

relieve hydraulic pressure by moving the control

lever back and forth several times. Lower the

parking jack and raise the mower until the tongue

clevis in no longer resting on the tractor drawbar

and is supported solely by the jack. Make sure that

the jack foot is securely resting at ground level or

supported by a block. Then remove the hitch bolt,

locknut, and washers. If a hydraulic cylinder was

used, remove its hose end from the tractor port and

secure it to the mower to prevent contact with dirt.

After disconnecting the 3 lift points, remove the

mower driveline from the tractor PTO shaft. Lay the

driveline down carefully to avoid damaging the

driveline or its shield. Do not let the driveline fall

into mud or dirt, which can contaminate the bearing

and shorten the life of the driveline. OPS-R-0031_A
