OPERATION
6.1 Connecting the Mower-Lift Type
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 mower.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Posi-
tion the tractor to the mower with the 3-point
lift arms positioned between the respective
set of mower A-frame lift lugs. Note: Set the
3-point lift control to “Position Control” so that
the lift arms maintain a constant height when
attaching the mower. See the tractor Opera-
tor’s Manual for correct settings when attach-
ing 3-point equipment.
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 pro-
cedure for remaining lift arm and hitch pin.
7. Extend or retract 3-point top link to align its
end hole with the holes of the mower’s top
link. Insert the top link hitch pin and insert
retaining pin into hitch pin.
8. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide
blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the mower
from swaying side to side and possible con-
tact with tractor rear tires.
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.
