Practice Safe Service Procedures

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury caused by unexpected movement, be sure to service machine on a level surface.

Before servicing, adjusting or lubricating 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 knives may rotate for several minutes after PTO is shut off. Look and listen for rotating driveline to stop before working on the mower.

When checking gear case hardware torque and knife clips hardware torque, it will be necessary to work underneath mower. Be sure to support mower frame with blocks at both ends to prevent accidental lowering. Do not position safety stands under rotor or roller because these components can rotate.
