Standard Clevis 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 Refer to Figure 1-11:
1. Make certain park jack (#3) is properly attached
to the cutter hitch and secured with detent pin (#8). If
park jack is not vertical, refer to “Park Jack Angle
Alignment” on page 24.
2. Store center 3-point link in its storage hook.
3. Start tractor, raise 3-point arms fully up, and carefully
back tractor within close proximity of clevis (#9).
4. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on this page.
5. Verify tractor drawbar is adjusted correctly. Refer to
“Drawbar Set-up” dimensions on page 11.
6. Raise or lower park jack (#3) to align clevis (#9) with
tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit between lower
and upper plates of clevis.
7. Restart tractor and continue to back tractor up to
cutter hitch until hole in tractor drawbar and holes in
hitch clevis (#9) are aligned.
8. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting.
9. Customer to supply hitch pin and hairpin cotter.
Insert hitch pin (#1) through top hole in clevis (#9),
tractor drawbar, and out through bottom hole in
clevis. Secure hitch pin with hairpin cotter (#2).
10. Lower park jack (#3) until hitch weight is supported
by drawbar.
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.
The 5/8" bolt (#10) and spacer (#11) may be
removed for more flexibility of hitch. If they are
removed, an equal number of flat washers (#12)
should be added above drawbar and below drawbar
to remove gap between drawbar and clevis hitch.
Adding washers with bolt and spacer removed will
reduce drawbar and hitch ware.
(Flat washers are customer supplied.)
NOTE: Hitch pin (#1) and hairpin cotter (#2) are
supplied by customer.
