caused by unexpected movement of
the machine. Engage the tractor’s
parking brake and/or place
transmission in PARK, shut off the
engine, and remove the ignition key
before working around the hitch.

CAUTION: Make sure that all
bystanders are clear of the working

clearance to safely back up to the

hitch, ensure there is clearance
between the cab and the ends of the
wings.

the hitch and drawbar are aligned.
3. Install drawbar pin and retainer.

drawbar. Remove the support if the
tractor drawbar forms a clevis.
