OPERATION
6.1 Connecting the Mower Tongue to the Tractor
1. Ensure the tractor is equipped with the
correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is set at
the correct length.
2. Using the parking jack, position the tongue
clevis to the height of the tractor drawbar.
Adjust the mower tongue clevis to be level
and parallel with the tractor drawbar using
the control rod connecting the mower tongue
clevis to the deck.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Back
the tractor to the mower aligning the drawbar
hitch hole with the mower tongue clevis.
Turn off the tractor engine, place the tractor
in park, and set the parking brake before
dismounting.
4. To attach the mower, place two 1” flatwashers (1) positioned under top lip of tongue clevis and to the
top of drawbar. Insert a 1” diameter grade 5 or 8 bolt (2) through clevis and drawbar and retain in
position with a 1” locknut (3). Tighten the locknut securely but do not overtighten which could spring or
break the clevis. NOTE: NEVER attach mower to the tractor with a pin not having a nut.
5. Securely attach the mower safety chain to the tractor drawbar or drawbar support frame.
6. Lower the jack until the tongue is completely supported by the drawbar. Remove jack from the tongue
and place on storage bracket of mower.
