secure the center axle using cylinder stops or transport pin and properly attach a safety chain
between the Implement and Tractor. Secure wings in upright position on folding Implements
using wing transport locks.
(STI-7)
Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are is
installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any shield if it is
damaged or missing.
(S3PT-8)
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work on
the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely blocked up,
disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push and pull the Remote
Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to starting any maintenance or
repair work.

Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before performing service on the
Implement. Never work on the Implement with the tractor PTO driveline connected and running.

entanglement, injury or death.
(S3PT-11)

missing or broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be
replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death from thrown
objects, entanglement, or blade contact.
