DISCONNECTING THE MOWER
The mower can be stored with the wings/decks in the raised or
lowered position. If the wings or decks are in the raised position,
ensure the wing and deck locks are securely engaged before
disconnecting the mower from the tractor.
1) Place mower on a level surface for storage.
2) Ensure that the tractor engine is shut off and the parking brake
is engaged.
3) Inspect wing / deck safety locks to ensure they are properly
engaged (if in the raised position).
4) Ensuring the quarter turn valve is in the open position; relieve
pressure in the hydraulic hoses per tractor manufacturer’s
instructions (normally cycling the tractor control valve in both
directions is sufficient).
5) Chock mower transport tires to ensure mower does not roll
unexpectedly when hitch pin is removed.
6) Disconnect pull rope from rear of tractor and hook on hose
support rod.
7) Disconnect hydraulic couplers from tractor & stow in supplied
locations in the sides of the tire guard (position A as shown).
8) Disconnect input shaft guard chain from tractor. Slide the
mower input shaft locking collar backwards, opening the locking
mechanism. Locking collar should remain in an open position.
9) Remove input shaft from tractor (collapsing sliding shaft) and
stow on supplied support bracket (position B as shown).
10) Remove the tongue jack from the storage location and place in
the parking position. Raise the jack sufficiently to remove all
mower weight from the tractor drawbar. Ensure mower tongue
jack is securely fastened to mower frame with supplied pin
before removing hitch draw pin
11) Remove supplied draw pin from hitch and stow in the hitch
swivel.
