OPERATION

5.2 Connecting the Cutter Precision Hitch to the FLEX-ARM

1.Ensure the FLEX-ARM is equipped with the correct gearbox output shaft.

2.Using the parking jack, position the cutter tongue clevis to the height of the FLEX-ARM precision hitch.

3.Insert the 3/4” bolts into the castor wheels to lock them into place when backing up.

IMPORTANT: Castor Wheel stabilizer pins need to be inserted in the castor wheels when backing the flex arm up to connect the mower. All other times pins should not be in castor wheels.

4.To align the precision hitch, board the tractor and start the engine. Back the tractor and FLEX-ARM to the cutter until arm hitch tongue is close enough to the cutter swivel. Then use the FlexArm to extend the precision hitch tongue towards the cutter hitch swivel about a foot.Turn off the tractor engine, place the tractor in park, and set the parking brake before dismounting. Dismount and view to see how far is needed to go. Keep extending the flex arm in foot increments or as much length needed until holes are aligned.

DANGER! Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement and Tractor hitches.

OPERATION

5.To attach the mower, place the cutter hitch pin through the hitch clevis and hitch tongue. Insert the 1/2” bolt, lockwasher, and flatwasher to the pin and hitch clevis. This keeps the pin in place and does not allow it to rotate. Attach the bushing to the bottom of the pin and insert the roll pin to the pin. Be sure the bolt is tightened but do not over tighten. NEVER attach the mower to the tractor without the bolt or roll pin attached to the retaining pin .
