13. DISCONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT FROM THE TRACTOR
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.
Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift the Tongue without
using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the tongue to fall suddenly and
unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue Jack for lifting the Implement only. Overloading
the Tongue Jack can cause failure with possible serious bodily injury or even death. (STI-04)
**If unhooking DISC HARROW in field position ensure that the discs are in the lowered position
touching the ground and not in the raised position.
Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Implement when
disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor. Always shut the Tractor off completely and set the parking brake
before attempting to disconnect the Implement pins from the Tractor hitch.
NOTE: Only unhook the DISC HARROW in field operating position or in transport position. DO NOT
unhook the DISC HARROW in ANY intermediate positions.
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.Never stand or allow another
person to stand between a running Tractor and the Implement when disconnecting the
Implement from the Tractor. Always shut the Tractor off completely and set the parking brake
before attempting to disconnect the Implement pins from the Tractor hitch.
14. IMPLEMENT STORAGE
Properly preparing and storing the implement at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance
and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
•
Thoroughly clean all debris off the implement to prevent damage from rotting grass and standing water.
• Lubricate all implement grease points as detailed in the maintenance section.
• Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.
• Check the implement for worn and damaged parts. Perform repairs and make replacements immediately
so that the implement will be ready for use at the start of the next season.
• Store the implement in a clean, dry place with the implement housing resting securely on blocks or at
ground level.
• Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the
implement.
Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift
the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the
tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue
Jack for lifting the Implement only. Overloading the Tongue Jack can cause failure with
possible serious bodily injury or even death.
(STI-04)
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.
