When moving the hitch along the front frame to adjust the offset, follow this procedure:

2.Raise the machine so it is slightly out of the ground.

3.Loosen the u-bolts through the Category Pin brackets.

4.Slide the A-frame along the Deck until the machine is set at the desired offset.

When the tines are damaged in any way, they will need to be replaced. When replacing, follow this procedure:
