PRACTICE SAFE SERVICE PROCEDURES
Before servicing or adjusting machine connected to a
tractor:
1. Lower machine to the ground.
2. Engage tractor parking brake and/or place
transmission in Park.
3. Disengage PTO.
4. Shut off tractor engine and remove key.
5. Wait until all moving parts have stopped.
6. Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor.
The blades and blade pan may rotate for several minutes
after PTO is shut off. Look and listen for rotating driveline
to stop before working on the cutter.
When servicing blades or blade pan, it will be
necessary to work underneath cutter. Be sure to
support cutter frame at all four corner locations with
safety shop stands to prevent accidental lowering.
Do not position safety stands under wheel support
because these components can rotate.

driveline.
2. Separate driveline into two (2) pieces.

tube back.
