IMPORTANT: AFTER TRACTOR HOOK UP,
RAISE AND LOCK SUPPORT STAND BY IN-
STALLING CROSS PIN AND Q.A. PIN IN LOW-
ER STAND HOLE.
Insure the hoist chain (Item 1) is SECURELY
hooked around top link side plates as shown.
This provides the best balance for easier instal-
lation. See Photo 2992.
Remove both base unit draft pins (Item 2), hoist
hitch into position shown and insert hitch’s rear
brackets between both sets of base unit ears.
Reinstall draft pins and insure cotters on each
end of both pins are spread.
If necessary, adjust hoist chain height until top
draft link (Item 3) can be installed between “lost
motion” slot (Item 4) and base unit’s top draft
hole (Item 5).
Remove “lost motion” pin (Item 6), along with
its OUTSIDE 1” x 2 1/2” diameter flat washers
(Item 7) and (2) INSIDE 1 1/2” diameter spac-
ers.
Install single flat end of link (Item 3) between
double “lost motion” slots and reinsert pin (Item
6), along with flat washers and spacers. The flat
washers go to the OUTSIDE and the spacers go
BETWEEN the “lost motion” slots and the top
draft link.
Remove pin (Item 8) from double flat ends of link
(Item 3) and install it astraddle draft hole (Item
5). Insure both pin cotters are spread. Raise
shredder with hoist (Item 1) sufficient to loosen
each front corner’s blocks and remove them.
Chain and anchor eye (Item 9) are always main-
tained on whatever position top link pin (Item
10) is in. It supports the PTO whenever it is not
hooked to the tractor.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT MANEUVER A 3 POINT
SHREDDER UNLESS PTO IS HOOKED TO
TRACTOR OR SUPPORTED BY THE CHAIN.
WRAP AND HOOK PTO SUPPORT CHAIN
AROUND THE “A” FRAME AS SHOWN
WHENEVER THE PTO IS HOOKED TO THE
TRACTOR.
This prevents damage to the PTO and/or sup-
port chain. See Photo 3016 on page 16.
