Refer to Figure 1-7:
1. Make certain the parking jack (#3) is properly
attached to the cutter hitch and secured with
attachment pin (#8).
2. Back tractor within close proximity of cutter
clevis (#11).
3. Raise or lower the parking jack (#3) to align clevis
(#11) with the tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit
between lower and upper plates of clevis.
4. Back tractor up to cutter hitch until holes in the
drawbar and clevis (#11) are aligned.
5. Insert 1" flat washers (#9) equally above and below
tractor drawbar until both spaces between drawbar
and clevis plates are filled.
6. Insert 1" x 5" gr5 hex bolt (#1) through top of clevis
(#11), 1" washers (#9), drawbar, remaining 1"
washers (#9) and out through bottom of clevis (#11).
Secure hex bolt with nut (#2). Tighten nut snugly to
remove all play and then back nut one-quarter turn.
Tighten jamb nut (#10) against nut (#2).
7. Lower jack stand (#3) until hitch weight is removed.
Remove jack stand from hitch and store on left hand
deck wing storage base. Prevent water and freeze
damage by storing it so that the foot is level or lower
than the head, especially when the wing is folded up.
8. Attach hitch safety chain (#4) to the tractor. Adjust
chain length to remove all slack except what is
necessary to permit turning. Lock chain hook
securely to the safety chain.
