ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

-Note-

Before assembling and connecting this accessory to your machine, turn the engine off, remove the key, and remove the spark plug wire from the engine.

1.Remove all crating and packing materials. Lay out the mounting hardware according to the “where used” list on page 5.

2.Bolt the hitch bracket onto the rear of the engine deck using (3) three 3/8-16 x 1-1/4" bolts and (3) three 3/8-16 elastic stop nuts. The bolts must be installed from the inside facing out.

-Note-

If you are mounting the hitch bracket to an older machine with only two holes on

the rear of the engine deck, you may use the hitch bracket to locate the third hole.

Bolt the hitch bracket to the existing two holes and mark the third hole using a center punch. Unbolt the hitch bracket and drill a 13/32" hole at the mark for the third hole. You are now ready to mount the hitch bracket.

3.Mount the hitch ball onto the hitch bracket using the 3/4" lock washer and the 3/4"-16 hex nut.

4.Mount the wheel assemblies onto the wheel spindles. Place the 1" wheel spacers onto the wheel spindles, and install the "E" clip on to each of the wheel spindles.

-Note-

There will be more wheel spacers in the hardware package than you will use. Install the appropriate sized wheel spacers onto the wheel spindle to remove the back and forth movement of the wheel assemblies with the “E” clip installed.

5.Mount the sulky frame on the hitch ball and secure in place by pushing down the locking lever on the coupler.

-Note-

When performing steps 5 through 8 keep in mind that the (3) three tie rods will have one end that has RH threads and one end that has LH threads.

Included in the hardware package are:

l(3) three LH threaded 1/2 x 1/2-20 ball joints.

l(3) three LH threaded 1/2-20 jam nuts.

l(1) one RH threaded 5/8 x 1/2-20 ball joint.

l(3) three RH threaded 1/2-20 jam nuts.

6.Screw (2) two LH threaded 1/2-20 jam nuts onto (2) two LH threaded 1/2 x 1/2-20 ball joints.

7.Screw (2) two RH threaded 1/2-20 jam nuts onto the (2) two RH threaded 1/2 x 1/2-20 ball joints.

8.There are three tie rods included in the sulky assembly. The two shorter ones are the wheel tie rods and the longer one is the steering tie rod.

9.Screw the (2) two LH 1/2 x 1/2-20 ball joints with jam nuts into the LH threaded ends of the wheel tie rods. Screw the RH 1/2 x 1/2-20 ball joints with jam nuts into the other wheel tie rod ends.
