OPERA

T

ION

Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Mower
when disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor 3-point hitch.

12. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR

Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be
disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop.
Move the mower to a level storage location and
lower it to the ground.  If the mower is not resting
securely on the ground, block the mower up
securely before attempting to disconnect it from
the tractor.

Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from
under the mower and clear of any pinch points
caused by the tractor hitch arms and mower pins.

OPS-R-0030_A

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.
