DANGER
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
•
To replace the skid shoes, lift the machine with suitable
lifting equipment, taking all safety precautions necessary.

the skid shoes off the ground.
WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before servicing,
adjusting, cleaning, or maintaining this implement.
The shoes protect the implement against direct contact
with the ground. These are subject to wear and must be
replaced immediately when worn to prevent damage to
the other parts of the implement.
Check and replace skid shoes when necessary.
Proceed as follows:
1. Park tractor and mower on a flat, level surface.
2. Lower the mower until the roller is slightly off the
