Bush Hog HM2008 Lawn Mower User Manual


 
Mounting - coupling
The coupling between machine and tractor must be carried out as explained in the
instructions. If the machine becomes disconnected from the tractor it could cause
severe damage or death.
Fitting of the suspension
Check that the lift arms of the tractor are adjusted to the same height from the ground. Turn the
drawbar (A) to the side or remove it. Also check the tire pressure - it is important that the right
hand wheel (B) is inflated to the prescribed pressure.
If the width of the tractor is less than 2200 mm (86.6”), measured from the outer edge of the tires,
hitch pins (E) must be used. Where the tractor is wider than 2200 mm (86.6”), pins (F) must be used.
NOTE: Model HM2007 is equipped with Cat. II pins to the outside and Cat. I pins to the inside. If used
with a Cat. II tractor, a Cat. II bushing must be used on the Cat. I inside pin.
Back the tractor to the machine - fit the lift arms (C) (right hand/left hand) and the top link (D).
Raise the machine with the lift arms (C) so that it is clear of the ground and raise both of the sup-
port legs.
Tighten the stabilizer links of the tractor. Check that the arms have the same length on the right
hand and left hand sides.
Turn the lock pawl (G) of the stabilizer in the direction indicated by arrow.
NOTE: The lock pawl can only be operated when the machine is coupled to the tractor, and
the machine must be raised clear of the ground with the three-point linkage of the tractor.
