DANGER
Crushing Hazard between tractor and implement. Do not
allow anyone to stand between tractor and implement while
backing-up to the implement. Never operate hydraulic 3-point
lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor.
Refer to Figure 1-5:
1. Make certain jack stand is properly attached to the
mower hitch and secured with attachment pin.
2. Back tractor within close proximity of clevis.
3. Raise or lower jack stand to align clevis with tractor
drawbar. Drawbar should fit between lower and
upper plates of clevis.
4. Back tractor up to mower hitch until holes in drawbar
and clevis are aligned.
5. Attach mower with 1" hitch pin and secure it with lock
pin. Always use a pin that contains a safety locking
device to prevent it from falling out.
6. Retract jack stand until weight of mower is fully
removed from the jack. Remove jack and store on
storage tube located on divider gearbox shield.
7. Attach safety chain on the frame tongue to the
tractor. Adjust chain length to remove all slack except
what is necessary to permit turning corners. Lock
chain hook securely on the chain.
8. See “Main Driveline Installation” on page 15 to
connect main driveline to tractor PTO shaft.
IMPORTANT: Jack attachment pin must be fully
inserted and secured before working on or around a
cutter that is not hooked to the tractor drawbar.
