The tongue is equipped with a screw pin shackle clevis to provide movement in all directions on 
rough uneven ground.  To prevent loss of the screw pin due to vibration or debris, place the screw 
pin through the tow vehicle hitch and clevis and turn the screw pin until snug.  
 
The tongue is designed to adjust from left to right within the hitch pivot.  This allows the mowers 
position to be varied behind the tow vehicle.  This is accomplished by pulling the 5/16” wire lock 
pins out and choosing two other hole locations on the tongue.
