When raising the mower be sure the PTO driveline does not hit either the mower or the
tractor. During transport the mower should not be lifted over 14”-16” from the ground.
CAUTION: Make sure PTO is disengaged and blades have stopped turning before
raising mower to full transport position.
Do not tow tractor and mower behind other vehicles. Use a properly equipped
trailer with heavy tie-downs for towing operations.
Before transporting:
1. Disengage PTO.
2. Shorten tractor top link until top hitch plate is locked.
3. Raise machine and lock rockshaft control lever.
4. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
5. Beware of traffic on public roads. Install a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign when
traveling on roads or streets.
6. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the mower does not strike
obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.
3.12 - Quick Hitch Adapter Assembly and Operation
Using a iMatch/Quick Hitch system: The GM20 series mowers can be used with a
Quick Hitch system, allowing for quick and easy hookup, by installing an optional
adapter. This optional adapter has floating yokes that will allow the mower to follow the
contour of the ground.
WARNING: When using a Quick Hitch on a PTO driven implement always ensure
there is the proper driveline overlap prior to use. If there is not the minimum 6”
driveline overlap do not use and contact your nearest dealer to purchase a longer
driveline.
Quick Hitch Adapter assembly (see fig. 7):
1. Remove lower hitch arms from grooming mower’s linking plates.
2. Remove bolt M16x140 on top of the three point hitch of the grooming mower.
3. Remove bolts M16x45 that hold the top hitch supports to the linking plates of the
mower.
4. Install the floating yokes of Quick Hitch Adapter assembly to the linking plates of the
mower using the hex bolts M16x65 and the stover nuts M16. Install the floating
yokes in the same hole that the hitch pins were mounted. NOTE: When installing
the quick hitch adapter on the GM2084, the floating yokes need to be installed
on the opposite side than the other models. Install the left yoke on the right
side and the right yoke on the left side of the mower (see fig. 8).
5. For proper operation of the mower, ensure that the floating yokes are parallel to the
ground.
