LP Performance Hitch Hook-up

DANGER
A Crushing Hazard exists when hooking-up equipment to a
tractor. Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and
implement while backing-up to implement. Do not operate
hydraulic 3-Point lift controls while someone is directly
behind the tractor or near the implement.
Refer to Figure 1-12:
1. Make certain park jack (#3) is properly attached to
cutter hitch and secured with detent pin (#8). If park
jack is not vertical, refer to “Park Jack Angle
Alignment” on page 24.
2. If clevis (#9) is not already supported horizontal,
rotate clevis horizontal and insert customer-supplied
hitch pin (#1) through horizontal holes in clevis (#9)
as shown in detail A. Secure with hairpin cotter (#2).
3. Store center 3-point link in its storage hook.
4. Start tractor, raise 3-point arms fully up, and carefully
back tractor within close proximity of clevis (#9).
5. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 13.
6. Verify tractor drawbar is adjusted correctly. Refer to
“Drawbar Set-up” dimensions on page 11.
7. Raise or lower park jack (#3) to align clevis (#9) with
tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit between lower
and upper plates of clevis.
8. Restart tractor and continue to back tractor up to
cutter hitch until hole in tractor drawbar and holes in
hitch clevis (#9) are aligned.
9. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting.
10. Remove hairpin cotter (#2) and hitch pin (#1) from
clevis (#9).
11. Attach cutter to tractor drawbar with hitch pin (#1) and
hairpin cotter (#2) as shown in detail B.
12. Lower park jack (#3) until hitch weight is supported
by tractor drawbar.
13. Remove park jack (#3) from hitch and attach it to the
left-hand wing storage base with detent pin (#8).
Make sure base is level with or lower than the head
especially after the wings are folded up. See cover
picture for correct positioning.
IMPORTANT: Jack detent pin (#8) must be fully
inserted and secured before working on or around a
cutter that is not hooked to the tractor drawbar.
NOTE: Hitch pin (#1) and hairpin cotter (#2) are
customer-supplied.
IMPORTANT: Protect park jack by storing it on the
left wing deck before moving the cutter. Make sure
jack is stored with its base level or lower than the
head to prevent water and freeze damage.
