OPERATION

Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.

Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators manual for proper starting instructions.

6. CONNECTING THE MOWER TO THE TRACTOR

Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the tractor. The mower should be securely resting at ground level or setting on blocks. Keep hands and feet from under the mower deck and clear of pinch points between the tractor hitch arms and mower pins. OPS-R-0001

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. (S3PT-15)

6.1 Connecting the Mower A-Frame to the Tractor

1.Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.

2.Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid interference when raising and lowering the mower.

3.Board the tractor and start the engine. Position the tractor to the mower with the 3-point lift arms positioned between the respective set of mower A-frame lift lugs. Note: Set the 3-point lift control to “Position Control” so that the lift arms maintain a constant height when attaching the mower. See the tractor Operator’s Manual for correct settings when attaching 3-point equipment.
