Note:
Tighten the four wheel assembly pivot bolts so that the wheel assemblies will not flop
down when the deck is raised off the ground.

INSTALLATION OF LAWN & GARDEN HITCHING
(refer to the Operation and Adjustment
Section for recommended hitching)(if the ATV Tongue was purchased refer to section C.
Installation of ATV Tongue)
1. The tongue can be installed either on the left or right caster assembly depending on how the
wing mower will be towed.
See figure 1
. Tighten the lock nut on the 3/8” x 2-1/2” pivot bolt so
the tongue is free to pivot but does not move sideways.
Note:
The tongue can be installed upside down so it will match up with tow vehicles with
higher hitches.
2. The tow vehicle hitch provided is a universal hitch that should fit most tow vehicles. Slight
modifications may be necessary for some tow vehicles.
3. Attach the tow vehicle hitch to the tow vehicle draw bar top or bottom depending on best
support, and secure with the longer 1/2” hex head bolt, flatwasher, nut, and lockwasher
provided.
See figure 3.
Note:
On some tow vehicles the draw bar will need to be strengthened to support the hitch
assembly securely.
4. Adjust the hitch stop angle with stop bolts as close as possible to the vertical member on the
back of the tow vehicle and adjust stop bolts securely against vertical member to keep hitch
from pivoting from side to side.
Note:
The hitch should be positioned on the tow vehicle so the stop bolts have a solid member
to adjust to. On most tow vehicles two bolts can be used to attach the hitch assembly to
the draw bar, eliminating the need for the hitch stop angle.
