a.Remove the hairpin cotter and hitch pin from

the pivot arm (Figure 9). Reposition the pivot arm to the locating hole marked, 6– 8. (HINT: Activate the foot pump to elevate the pivot arm.) Align the hole on the pivot arm with the hole in the cutter frame and insert the hitch pin and hairpin cotter. Use handle on front end of pivot arm to reposition (Figure 10).
