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 1-9:
1. Make certain park jack (#3) is properly attached to
jack mount (#15) and secured with attachment
pin (#8). If park jack is not vertical, refer to “Park
Jack Angle Alignment” on page 26.
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 and raise 3-point arms fully up.
5. Carefully back tractor within close proximity of
clevis (#9).
6. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 14.
IMPORTANT: Ball detent pin (#8) must be fully
inserted in park jack (#3) before working on or
around a cutter not hooked to a tractor drawbar.
NOTE: Hitch pin (#1) and hairpin cotter (#2) are
customer-supplied.
7. Verify tractor drawbar is adjusted correctly. Refer to
“Drawbar Set-up” dimensions on page 12.
8. Raise or lower park jack (#3) to align clevis (#9) with
tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit between lower
and upper plates of clevis.
9. Restart tractor and continue to back tractor up to
cutter hitch until hitch holes in tractor drawbar and
hitch clevis (#9) are aligned.
10. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting.
11. Remove hairpin cotter (#2) and hitch pin (#1) from
clevis (#9) as shown in detail A.
12. Attach cutter to tractor drawbar with hitch pin (#1) and
hairpin cotter (#2) as shown in detail B.
13. Lower park jack (#3) until hitch weight is supported
by tractor drawbar.
14. Remove park jack (#3) from jack mount (#12) and
attach it to the weight box with detent pin (#8). Make
sure jack base is level or lower than the jack crank
head. See cover picture for correct positioning.
15. 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.
16. Continue with “Hydraulic Plumbing” on page 18
and “Driveline Installation” on page 20.
IMPORTANT: Protect park jack by attaching it to the
weight box before moving the cutter. Make sure jack
is stored with its base level or lower than the head to
prevent water and freeze damage.
