For your safety and the safety of others, you must use the following normal shut-down procedure before leaving the

variation of the following procedure may be used if so instructed within this manual or your tractor manual or if an
extreme emergency requires it.

b. Lower machine to ground level.
c. Place transmission in park or set park brake.

e. Wait for all movement to stop.
3.3 Adjustments
3.3.1 Hitch Adjustment
The hitch is adjustable so that the machine is parallel to
the ground when attached to the tractor drawbar. This is
accomplished by removing the two mounting bolts and
reinstalling them with the hitch at the proper height.
The hitch pin should be of proper size to prevent
movement and length to extend through all components
of the hitch. The pin should be secured with a hairpin
clip or suitable device to prevent the loss of the pin.
3.3.2 P.T.O. Shield
WARNING: Before lifting the P.T.O. shield be sure and follow the normal shut down procedure.
Be certain that the tractor is shut off and all rotating components of the machine have come to a
complete stop before lifting shield. Loose clothing is discouraged, and long hair should be
restrained whenever working on P.T.O. shafts.
To raise the P.T.O. shield, unhook the hold-down straps near the front of the shield and lift the shield. It should pivot
freely. If it does not pivot freely look for build up of debris or other obstructions at the pivot point. Do not force the
shield, as damage to the shield may occur. Once the shield is in the upright position it should automatically lock in
the upright position.
To lower the shield, pull the locking pin to release the shield and lower it into working position. Once the shield is
lowered hook the hold-down straps.
