OPERATION

5. CONNECTING THE MOWER TO THE TRACTOR

Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the tractor. The mower should be securely resting at ground level or on blocks. Place a block in front of and behind the center section wheels to prevent the mower from moving. Keep hands and feet out from under the mower and clear of pinch points between the tractor and mower.

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.

5.1 Connecting the Mower Tongue to the Tractor

1.Ensure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is set at the correct length.

2.Using the parking jack, position the tongue clevis to the height of the tractor drawbar.

3.Board the tractor and start the engine. Back the tractor to the mower aligning the drawbar hitch hole with the mower tongue clevis. Turn off the tractor engine, place the tractor in park, and set the parking brake before dismounting.

4.To attach the mower, place two 1” flatwashers positioned under top lip of tongue clevis and to the top of drawbar. Add additional 1” flatwashers between the bottom of drawbar and bottom lip of clevis to fill open space. Insert a 1” diameter grade 5 or 8 bolt through clevis and drawbar and retain in position with a 1” locknut. Tighten the locknut securely but do overtighten which could spring or break the clevis. NEVER attach the mower to the tractor with a pin not having a nut.

5.Securely attach the mower safety chain to the tractor drawbar or drawbar support frame. Ensure the mower end is securely wrapped around the mower hitch “A” frame.

6.Lower the jack until the tongue is completely supported by the drawbar. Remove jack from the tongue and place on storage bracket of mower.

Safety Tow

Chain Connection

OPERATION

Safety Tow Chain

If the mower is towed on a public roadway, a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the gross weight of the mower must be connected between the tractor and mower. This will help control the implement in the event the tongue becomes disconnected from the drawbar. After connecting both ends of the safety chain, drive the tractor to the right and left to check for proper chain length. Adjust length as necessary and allow only enough slack in the chain to make a maximum turn in both directions.
