The tongue is equipped with a screw pin shackle clevis to provide movement in all directions on rough uneven ground. To prevent loss of the screw pin due to vibration or debris, place the screw pin through the tow vehicle hitch and clevis and turn the screw pin until snug.
The tongue is designed to adjust from left to right within the hitch pivot. This allows the mowers position to be varied behind the tow vehicle. This is accomplished by pulling the 5/16” wire lock pins out and choosing two other hole locations on the tongue. See Figure 6.
