The hitching system is designed so that the wing mower can be pulled directly behind a tow
vehicle without a mower deck or as a left or right wing mower when towed behind a tow vehicle
with or without a mower deck.
If more than one wing mower is towed, they can be pulled in tandem or one on the left and one on
the right or a combination of the above conditions until the desired cutting width is obtained.
CAUTION:
Do not operate two wing mowers in tandem on slopes greater than 25% (1 foot
rise, 4 foot run). This can create an unstable condition where the rear wing mower could
push the front wing mower sideways.
When mowing large open areas, adjust the spreader hitch on the tow vehicle so that the wing
mower tongue center line aligns with the outside cut line on the tow vehicle mower. When
trimming around objects or mowing contours, it is best to adjust the tow vehicle hitch in to
eliminate skips. The spreader hitch can be adjusted in and out to get the desired overlap to fit
your mowing job.

ATV TONGUE CONFIGURATIONS (Refer to Figure 6)
WARNING:
Shut off the engine and allow the mower blades to come to a complete stop
before adjusting the tongue.
WARNING:
When attaching the tongue to the back of the tow vehicle, tighten the screw
pin shackle clevis firmly. Property damage or bodily injury may occur if the screw pin
shackle clevis unturns and the wing mower becomes unattached from the tow vehicle.
The hitching system is designed so that the wing mower can be pulled directly behind a tow
vehicle without a mower deck or as a left or right wing mower when towed behind a tow vehicle
with or without a mower deck
.
Note:
When pulling the wing mower directly behind, it is most maneuverable when the hitch
pivot is fastened on the left carrier arm.
See Figure 4.
When pulling the wing mower in
the offset position, it is most maneuverable to have the hitch pivot fastened on the right
carrier arm.
See Figure 4.
The tongue is designed to adjust from left to right within the hitch pivot. This allows the wing
mower and tow vehicle, with a mower deck, to have proper overlap. Overlap is more critical in
tight areas where a lot of maneuvering is required. This overlap will eliminate most skips between
the tow vehicle and wing mower. In large open areas the overlap is not as critical and should be
adjusted to the user’s preference.
