6. CONNECTING THE MOWER TO THE SKID STEER
Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the skid steer. The mower should be securely resting at ground level or on blocks. Keep hands and feet out from under the mower and clear of pinch points between the mower and skid steer.
Always shut the Power Unit 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 Power Unit hitches.
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even death.
6.1 Connecting the Hitches
The mower can only be attached to skid steers equipped with a universal quick mount hitch. The mower attaches to the skid steer by engaging the skid steer mounting plate under the mower hitch saddle weldment and locking hitch pins to secure the skid steer and mower hitches together.
With the engine completely shut down and the parking brake set, rotate the skid steer latch handles upward to the unlatched position. The latch handles must be completely raised to fully retract the hitch lock pins.
1.Start the skid steer and tilt the hitch mounting plate forward while guiding the mounting plate crest under the attachment saddle of the mower. Raise and roll back the mounting plate until the mower hitch plate is securely seated flat against the skid steer mounting plate.
