2.Locate the cutter on a flat level surface. Back the trac- tor to the cutter and secure the cutter to the tractor drawbar with a 1” -8 x 4 1/2” long bolt, lock washer and nut provided. Use washers supplied if needed as shims to secure tongue clevis to drawbar. (May need to adjust turnbuckle to obtain correct drawbar height.)

IMPORTANT: Parking jack use: Whenever using parking jack (#3) install lock pin through jack and tube bracket welded to tongue. Use jack to raise and lower tongue to connect to the tractor drawbar. When tongue is connected to tractor drawbar retract jack fully, remove pin and store jack as shown in Figure 1-12. When using jack to support cutter while being disconnected leave cutter in transport position. Attach jack to tongue mounting tube using lock pin and rotate handle to raise.
