DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR

Lower the Mower to the Ground. Park the Tractor with the transmission in the correct gear (Automatic
Transmission--Park; Standard Transmission--Neutral). Set the parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove
the key. Wait until the PTO stops rotating before getting down from the tractor.

Disconnect the Speed increaser and pump from the tractor PTO. Disconnect the Top Link and the Lower Lift
Links from the Mower. Disconnect all Hoses from tractor.

Always reinstall the Master Shield over the tractor PTO Shaft. This Shield should always remain in place
except when PTO Shaft is in use.

Keep hands and feet out from under Mower.

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)

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)

Perform service, repairs and lubrication according to the maintenance section. Ensure the
unit is properly lubricated as specified in the lubrication schedule and all bolts and nuts are
properly torqued. Failure to properly service, repair and maintain this Implement in good
operating condition could cause component failure and possible serious injury or even
death.

12.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.
