Note: Tighten the four wheel assembly pivot bolts so that the wheel assemblies will not flop down when the deck is raised off the ground.

B.INSTALLATION OF LAWN & GARDEN HITCHING (refer to the Operation and Adjustment Section for recommended hitching)(if the ATV Tongue was purchased refer to section C. Installation of ATV Tongue)
1.The tongue can be installed either on the left or right caster assembly depending on how the wing mower will be towed. See figure 1. Tighten the lock nut on the 3/8” x
Note: The tongue can be installed upside down so it will match up with tow vehicles with higher hitches.
2.The tow vehicle hitch provided is a universal hitch that should fit most tow vehicles. Slight modifications may be necessary for some tow vehicles.
3.Attach the tow vehicle hitch to the tow vehicle draw bar top or bottom depending on best support, and secure with the longer 1/2” hex head bolt, flatwasher, nut, and lockwasher provided. See figure 3.
Note: On some tow vehicles the draw bar will need to be strengthened to support the hitch assembly securely.
4.Adjust the hitch stop angle with stop bolts as close as possible to the vertical member on the back of the tow vehicle and adjust stop bolts securely against vertical member to keep hitch from pivoting from side to side.
Note: The hitch should be positioned on the tow vehicle so the stop bolts have a solid member to adjust to. On most tow vehicles two bolts can be used to attach the hitch assembly to the draw bar, eliminating the need for the hitch stop angle.
