Practice Safe Service Procedures

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

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 holder 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 holder, 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 axle or wheel support(s) because these components can rotate.
