Three Point Linkage Models
1. Adjust both lift arms of the tractor until they are level in relation to each other.
2. Hitch the lower linkage arms to the Rollermower and connect the top link and PTO shaft. Ensure that the locking
pins are secure.
3. With the Rollermower lowered in its operating position, adjust the top link until the strap is slack, allowing the Roll-
ermower to produce a uniform
fi
nish in varying ground conditions.

Trailed Models
1. Adjust the tractor hitch pin so that the hitch pin is approximately 400 mm (16”) from the end of the tractor PTO
shaft.
2. Adjust the Rollermower hitch eye to suit the tractor drawbar height paying particular attention to keep both height
adjusting bolts as far as possible on the adjusting bracket. Careful adjustment of the hitch eye height at this stage is
necessary in order to allow the machine to function safely and correctly.
3. Connect the machine to the tractor. Ensure no one is standing between the tractor and the Rollermower.
4. Before connecting the PTO shaft to the tractor, check it for length as shown earlier.
