O P E R ATION

Two holes are provided on the lift arms to connect to the lower ends of the leveling assemblies.

The forward holes will provide the greatest lifting range for the ball ends of the lift arms. The rear holes will allow heavier loads to be handled by the hitch.

The adjustable screw type leveling assemblies will provide additional adjustment in the lifting height of the hitch.

NOTE: BE SURE THAT AT LEAST 11/4” OF THREAD ON EACH END IS ENGAGED INTO THE THREADED BARREL OF THE LEVELING ASSEMBLIES.

W ARNING!

A heavy load can cause instability in driving a trac- tor. Make sure the front of the tractor is properly counter-balanced with weights. Always drive slowly

–especially around turns. An unstable tractor could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.

When using 3 pt. hitch equipment, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on tractor front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip up, causing possible loss of control and possible personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front end loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight certification. Weigh the tractor and equip- ment. DO NOT GUESS OR ESTIMATE!

The adjustable screw type top link can also be short- ened or lengthened to adapt different implements and can be used to obtain various degrees of pitch on the implements you are using.

The ball sockets on the lift arms are two-way balls, so they will accommodate both Category I or Category II lift pins on the implement. If the drawbar or implement has Category I (7/8”) pins, make sure the balls are turned so that the 7/8” diameter holes are used.

NOTE: If the larger 11/8” diameter holes are used with the smaller 7/8” pins, the ball sockets will “hole out,” for which Worksaver cannot be responsible. If you do use smaller 7/8” diameter lift pins and the larger 11/8” diameter ball holes, be sure to use lift arm adapter bushings to elimi- nate the excess play or loose fit.

The stabilizer bars should be used whenever possible, as they not only prevent side sway, but provide rigidity and stability to the unit – plus added strength. The stabi- lizer bars are threaded stubs so their length can be adjusted so the spread of the lift arms can be increased or decreased to accommodate the different width of Category I and Category II tools.
