Hitch Hook-Up
Refer to Figure 1-4:
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking
attachment. Do not allow anyone to stand between attachment
and power machine while approaching or backing away from
the attachment. Do not operate lift and/or tilt controls while
someone is near the power machine and/or attachment.
1. Make sure hydraulic hoses and height adjustment
safety chain do not interfere with hitch hook-up.
2. Drive skid steer slowly to the Rotary Cutter making
sure the front hitch plate of the skid steer is parallel
with the Rotary Cutter hitch.
3. Tilt top of skid steer hitch plate slightly forward.
4. Place top of skid steer hitch plate directly under the
Rotary Cutter top angle bar.
5. Slowly lift skid steer hitch until it fully contacts the
Rotary Cutter top angle bar.
6. Slowly rotate skid steer hitch plate back.
7. Push lock handles of the skid steer down ensuring
the pins go through the bottom slots of the Rotary
Cutter’s hitch and the handles lock down.
8. Run the height adjustment safety chain under the
upper cross tube and under the skid steer hitch plate
(See Figure 1-5). Attach to skid steer’s lower hitch
loop (See Figure 2-2 on page 15).
