driveline  and  store  in  appropriate  place.  Disconnect  three  point  linkage  and
carefully drive tractor away from mower.

3.11 - Transport

Before  raising  the  mower  for  transport,  the  tractor  top  link  must  be  adjusted  so  when
lifted,  the  rear  of  the  machine  is  higher  than  the  front  (the  mower’s  nose  is  tilted
downward).  To  do  this,  shorten  the  tractor  top  link  until  the  top  hitch  plate  is  locked
forward  and  no  longer  able  to  pivot.  This  will  keep  the  mower  locked  in  position  and
minimize  the  shaking  and  bouncing  during  transport  which  can  damage  the  hitch  or
frame.

CAUTION: Make sure PTO is disengaged and blades have stopped turning before
raising  mower  to  full  transport  position.  Do  not  tow  tractor  and  mower  behind
other  vehicles.  Use  a  properly  equipped  trailer  with  heavy  tie-downs  for  towing
operations.

Before transporting:
1. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
2. Beware  of  traffic  on  public  roads.  Install  a  SMV  (Slow  Moving  Vehicle)  sign  when

traveling on roads or streets. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.

3. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the implement does not strike

obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.

4. Always disengage PTO before raising the implement to transport position.
5. When raising the mower be sure the PTO driveline does not hit either the mower or

the tractor.

6. During transport the mower should not be lifted over 14”-16” from the ground.

3.12 - Quick Hitch Adapter Assembly and Operation

Using a Quick Hitch system:

These  mowers  can  be  used  with  a  Quick  Hitch  system,  allowing  for  quick  and  easy
hookup, by installing an optional adapter. This optional adapter has floating yokes that
will allow the mower to follow the contour of the ground.

WARNING: When using a Quick Hitch on a PTO driven implement always ensure
there  is  the  proper  driveline  overlap  prior  to  use.  If  there  is  not  the  minimum  6”
driveline overlap do not use and contact your nearest dealer to purchase a longer
driveline.
