Safety Chains
Refer to Figure 1-12:
When towing implements on the highway, use a safety
chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the implement to be towed by the tractor.
This will control the implement in the event the hitch pin is
lost. After attaching the safety chain (#4), make a trial run
by driving the tractor to the right and to the left for a short
distance to check the safety chain adjustment. If neces-
sary, re-adjust to eliminate a tight or loose chain.
See (ASAE S338.2) for proper connection between tractor
and implement.
Check Chains
Check chains are used to control cutting height and allow
mower to be lowered to the same preset cutting height ef-
fortlessly. Install lower end of check chain (#1) to inner
hitch ear as shown in Figure 1-13, using bolts (#2), lock
washers (#3) and nuts (#4). Tighten securely. Install chain
lugs (#5) on either side of the tractor top link mount using
pin (not supplied)
(1” Dia. pin for Category II and 1 1/4” for Category III). Cut-
ting height is then set by placing proper chain link in key
slot (#5).
NOTE: For additional safety in transport, raise cut-
ter as high as possible, and shorten check chains
to prevent inadvertent falling in transport.
