5. CONNECTING THE CUTTER TO THE TRACTOR

Use extreme caution when connecting the cutter to the tractor. The cutter should be securely resting at ground level or setting securely on blocks. Keep hands and feet from under cutter deck and clear of pinch points between tractor hitch arms and cutter pins.

DANGER!	Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Mower
	when attaching the Implement to the Tractor 3-point hitch. Always shut the Tractor off
	completely and set the parking brake before attempting to connect the Mower pins to the
	Tractor hitch.

1.Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.

2.Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid interference when raising and lowering the cutter.

3.Board the tractor and start the engine. Position the tractor to the cutter with the 3-point lift arms positioned between the respective set of cutter A- frame lift lugs.

4.Turn off the tractor engine and dismount.

5.One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole between the set of holes of A-frame lift lugs. Insert hitch pin through the lug and arm holes and insert retaining pin into hitch pin.

6.Walk around to opposite side and repeat procedure for remaining lift arm and lift lugs.

7.Extend or retract 3-point top link to align its end hole with the holes of the cutter’s top link. Insert the top link hitch pin and insert retaining pin into hitch pin.

8.Attach hydraulic hose ends of retractable rear guard cylinder into tractor hydraulic ports.

9.Adjust any lower link check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the cutter from swaying side to side and possible contact with tractor rear tires.
