STEP 5 - MEASURE TRACTOR HITCH
• Use the mark beside this paragraph to measure the
height of the tractor hitch. The mark is 10" from the

STEP 6a. If the tractor hitch
is 10" or more above the ground, go to
STEP 6b.
STEP 6a - ASSEMBLE HITCH BRACKETS
• If the tractor hitch is less than 10" above the ground,
place the bent hitch bracket underneath the hitch
tubes and place the hitch bracket assembly on top of
the hitch tubes. Insert two hex bolts (B) through the
brackets, with the rear hex bolt between the cross
bolts in the hitch tubes. Secure the hex bolts (B) with
two nylock nuts (E). See fi gure 3.
Do not tighten yet.
• Assemble the two spacers (J) onto the hitch pin and
secure the pin with the hairpin cotter (K). See fi gure 3.

• Hold the left hitch tube against the left side of the
sweeper so that the "77
L" on the tube faces away from
the sweeper. Attach the hitch tube using two hex bolts
(C) and nylock nuts (E). Repeat for the right hitch tube,
but with the "76
R" facing in toward the right side of the
sweeper.
Do not tighten yet. See fi gure 1.
STEP 3 - REMOVE PLASTIC TIE
• Remove the plastic tie that fastens the height
