6. CONNECTING THE MOWER TO THE SKID STEER
Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the skid steer. The mower should be securely resting at
ground level or on blocks. Keep hands and feet out from under the mower and clear of pinch points between
the mower and skid steer.
6.1 Connecting the Hitches
IMPORTANT: The SL60 mower can only be attached to skid steers equipped with a universal quick mount
hitch. The mower attaches to the skid steer by engaging the skid steer mounting plate under the mower hitch
saddle weldment and locking hitch pins to secure the skid steer and mower hitches together.
With the engine completely shut down and the
parking brake set, rotate the skid steer latch
handles upward to the unlatched position. The
latch handles must be completely raised to fully
retract the hitch lock pins.
1. Start the skid steer and tilt the hitch mount-
ing plate forward while guiding the mount-
ing plate crest under the attachment saddle
of the mower. Raise and roll back the
mounting plate until the mower hitch plate is
securely seated flat against the skid steer
mounting plate.
Always shut the Power Unit 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 Power Unit hitches.
(SPU-32)
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
