CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING IMPLEMENT SAFETY
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM BEING CRUSHED BY TRACTOR OR
IMPLEMENT:
WHEN BACKING
tractor to implement hitch:
• DO NOT ALLOW BYSTANDERS between tractor and implement.
BEFORE
connecting and disconnecting implement hitch:
• STOP TRACTOR ENGINE , place transmission into park, engage parking brake and remove key.
WHEN
connecting and disconnecting implement hitch:
• DO NOT crawl or walk under raised mower or wing.
WHEN CONNECTING IMPLEMENT DRIVELINE:
TO AVOID
implement driveline coming loose during operation:
• LUBRICATE yoke spring locking collar to ensure it freely slides on PTO shaft.
• SECURELY seat yoke locking balls in PTO shaft groove.
• PUSH and PULL DRIVELINE on both the tractor and implement PTO SHAFTS to ensure it is SECURELY
ATTACHED.
TO AVOID
broken driveline during operations:
• CHECK driveline for proper length between PTO shaft and implement gearbox shaft.
(Refer to Instructions in Operation
Section)
• Drivelines too short can pull apart or disengage.
• Drivelines too long can bottom out.
• Bottoming driveline telescoping assembly will stop sliding and become solid.
• Driveline bottoming can push through support bearings and break off PTO shaft.
CONTACT DEALER
if implement driveline does not match Tractor PTO shaft:
• DO NOT USE PTO ADAPTER.
Using a PTO adapter can cause:
• Excessive vibration, thrown objects, blade and implement failures by doubling operating speed.
• Increased working length exposing unshielded driveline areas and entanglement hazards.
BEFORE REMOVING WING RETAINING LOCKS:
• FILL Wing Cylinders with oil. (R
efer to Instructions in Operation Section)
• KEEP bystanders clear of area before operating wings.
• LOWER WINGS slowly and carefully.
DO NOT connect the Mower to a tractor with the PTO directly connected to the Tractor transmission.
