OPERATION
6. CONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT TO TRACTOR
1. Unbolt the upper halves of the yoke and fit them either side of the tractor’s top hitch bracket with the 3/4”
UNF nut and bolt provided. If the tractor has only one top hitch position, the bolt will replace the existing
top hitch pin. If more than one location is available mount the yokes through an alternative position as it will
make it easier to put the machine on and take it off the tractor.
2. Do not tighten the nut at this stage.
Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a
tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators
manual for proper starting instructions.

f
aces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and
hose connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs.
Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface
or fluid can cause serious injury from burns or scalding.
(SG-34)
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.

necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn

contact.
