12. DISCONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT FROM THE TRACTOR
Before disconnecting the implement, the PTO must be disengaged and knife rotation at a complete stop.
Move the implement to a level storage location and lower it to the ground. If the implement is not resting
securely on the ground, block the implement up securely before attempting to disconnect it from the tractor.
Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under the implement and clear of any pinch points caused by
the tractor hitch arms and implement pins. OPS-T-0008
Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift
the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the
tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue
Jack for lifting the Implement only. Overloading the Tongue Jack can cause failure with
possible serious bodily injury or even death.
(STI-04)
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
