SEPARATING THE CUTTING UNIT FROM
THE TRACTION UNIT (Fig 9–11)
1.
Position the machine on level surface, lower the cutting unit to
the floor, shut the engine off and engage the parking brake.
2.
Remove the self-tapping screws securing the shield to the top
of the cutting unit and set the shield aside.
3.
Drive out the roll pin securing the drive shaft yoke to the input
shaft of the gear box. Loosen the capscrews and locknuts and
slide the yoke off the input shaft. If the traction unit will be
used without the cutting unit, drive the roll pin out of the yoke
at the traction unit PTO shaft and remove the entire drive shaft
from the traction unit.
4.
Disconnect the cotter pins and clevis pins securing the lift
chains to the lift arms.
5.
Have a helper push down on the right push arm while you
remove the capscrews, flatwashers and locknuts securing the
ball joint mount to the castor arm on the cutting unit. Now the
helper can carefully allow the push arm to move upward,
which will gradually release the spring load.

To prevent accidental starting of the engine while perform-
ing maintenance, shut of the engine and remove the key
from the ignition switch.
CAUTION
Do not start the engine and engage the PTO lever when the
PTO shaft is not connected to the gear box on the cutting
unit. If the engine is started and the PTO shaft is allowed to
rotate, serious injury could result.
DANGER
Since the right-hand push arm is spring loaded and the left-
hand push arm is spring loaded, a helper is needed to push
the arm down. Sudden release of the push arm could cause
injury.
