Move the draw bar ahead or remove if required. Draw
bar should also be checked for clearance when the
unit is being raised for the first time.

clevises on the mower. Insert the lower hitch pins into
the lower ball swivels and attach the lynch pins.
3. Attach the tractor top link to the upper floating hitch on

hitch pin vertically above the lower hitch pins in to
allow mower flotation.
