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. (Refer to Instructions in Operation Section)
•KEEP bystanders clear of area before operating wings.
