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. A
screw driver may be inserted into the hole in
the side of the swivel hitch to keep the hitch
clevis level while connecting to the tractor
drawbar.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Back the
tractor to the cutter aligning the drawbar hitch
hole with the cutter tongue clevis. Turn off the
tractor engine, place the tractor in park, and set
the parking brake before dismounting.
4. To attach the Cutter insert the hitch pin through
the drawbar and tongue clevis. Once the pin is
inserted, attach the snap ring pin through the
hole on the hitch pin and snap in place.
5. Securely attach the cutter 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
cutter.
6.2 Safety Tow Chain
If the implement is towed on a public roadway, a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the implement must be connected between the tractor and implement. This will help control
the implement in the event the tongue becomes disconnected from the drawbar. Make sure the chain is
attached to a secure location on the tractor and not to an intermediate support.
After connecting both ends of the safety chain, drive the tractor to the right and left to check for proper chain
length. Adjust length as necessary and allow only enough slack in the chain to make a maximum turn in both
directions. When not in use, store the safety chain to protect it from mud or standing water by wrapping the
chain around the tongue. Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken, stretched or
otherwise damaged or deformed.
