OPERATION

5.1 Connecting the FLEX-ARM Tongue to the Tractor

1.Ensure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is set at the correct length.

2.Using the parking jack, position the tongue clevis to the height of the tractor drawbar.

3.Board the tractor and start the engine. Back the tractor to the FLEX-ARM aligning the drawbar hitch hole with the FLEX-ARM tongue clevis. Turn off the tractor engine, place the tractor in park, and set the parking brake before dismounting.

DANGER! 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.

OPERATION

4.To attach the Flex Arm insert the hitch pin through the drawbar and tongue clevis. Once the pin is inserted, attach the snap ring pin through the hole on the hitch pin and snap in place.

5.Attach safety tow chain to flex arm and tractor. Fasten the large loop of the safety chain to the hitch, using the 1” bolt, washer, and nut. Attach the other end of the chain to tractor. Refer to your tractor operator’s manual for complete instructions to attach chain to tractor. Adjust length to allow only enough slack as is needed for turning. Lock hook on chain. Ensure chain rating is equal to, or greater than the gross weight of the towed equipment.

6.Lower the jack until the tongue is completely supported by the drawbar. Remove jack from the tongue and place on storage bracket of FLEX-ARM.

Safety Tow

Chain Connection

Safety Tow Chain

If the FLEX-ARM is towed on a public roadway, a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the gross weight of the FLEX-ARM & mower must be connected between the tractor and FLEX-ARM. This will help control the implement in the event the tongue becomes disconnected from the drawbar. After connecting both ends of the safety chain, drive the tractor to the right and left to check for proper chain length. Adjust length as necessary and allow only enough slack in the chain to make a maximum turn in both directions.
