Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Implement
when disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor 3-point hitch.
To disconnect the implement, 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 implement. Next remove both
lower hitch pins.
After disconnecting the 3-lift points, remove the implement 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.
10. DISCONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT FROM THE TRACTOR
Before disconnecting the implement, the PTO must be disengaged and knife rotation at a complete stop.
Move the implement to a level storage location and lower it to the ground. If the implement is not resting
securely on the ground, block the implement up securely before attempting to disconnect it from the tractor.
Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under the implement and clear of any pinch points caused by
the tractor hitch arms and implement pins.
OPS-T-0008
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.
