Tractor Hook-Up to the Quick Hitch
CAUTION
!
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
Keep a firm grip on the Quick Hitch at all times while
unhooking it from a tractor. Keep feet and all other body
extremities out from under the lower 3-point hitch areas as the
unit could fall causing serious injury. When possible, have a
second person on hand to help.
Refer to Figure 1-1 or Figure 1-2:
1. Shut tractor down according to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure”
on page 11.
2. Make sure release levers/handles (#1) are set to
auto-lock by doing the following:
Refer to Figure 1-1: Move QH05 release levers (#1)
from locking notches (#8) to full forward to position
as shown.
IMPORTANT: Because of its weight, hooking up the
QH30 by yourself is not recommended. Use an
overhead hoist or the help of a second person to
hook the QH30 from your tractor.
Refer to Figure 1-2:
Rotate the QH16, QH20 or
QH30 release handles (#1) down as shown.
3. Sit Quick Hitch upright on the ground close to the
lower 3-point lift arm hitch holes with auto-lock
hooks (#7) facing away from the tractor.
4. Remove hairpin cotter (#2) and hitch pin (#3).
Remove linchpins (#4) and hitch pins (#5).
5. Raise right-hand side of Quick Hitch to align hitch pin
holes with hitch hole in lower right lift arm. Insert hitch
pin (#5) and secure with linchpin (#4).
6. Repeat step 5 to hook-up left-hand side of Quick
Hitch to the tractor.
7. Attach top center 3-point link to the Quick Hitch with
hitch pin (#3) and secure with hairpin cotter (#2).
8. Level Quick Hitch vertically by adjusting the length of
the tractor’s top center link. Refer to tractor
Operator’s Manual for detailed instructions.
9. Level Quick Hitch horizontally by adjusting one of the
tractor’s lower lift arms up or down. Refer to tractor
