WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
A Crushing Hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking

3. Store the tractor’s upper center 3-point link in its
storage hook.
4. Start tractor and raise lower 3-point arms fully up.
5. Carefully back tractor within close proximity of
clevis (#9).
6. Put tractor in park or set park brake, turn off tractor
engine, and remove switch key to prevent
unauthorized starting before dismounting tractor.
IMPORTANT: Ball detent pin (#8) must be fully
inserted in park jack (#3) before working on or
around a cutter not hooked to a tractor drawbar.
NOTE: Hitch pin (#1) and hairpin cotter (#2) are
customer-supplied.
7. Verify tractor drawbar is adjusted correctly. Refer to
“Drawbar Set-up” dimensions on page 12.
8. See Detail C: Raise or lower park jack (#3) to align
clevis (#9) with tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit
between lower and upper plates of clevis.
9. Start tractor and continue to back tractor up to cutter
hitch until hole in tractor drawbar and holes in hitch
clevis (#9) are aligned.
10. Put tractor in park or set park brake, turn off tractor
engine, and remove switch key.
11. Remove hairpin cotter (#2) and hitch pin (#1) from
clevis (#9) as shown in detail A.
12. Attach cutter to tractor drawbar with hitch pin (#1) and

Make sure jack base is level or lower than the jack
crank head especially after the wings are folded up.
See cover picture for correct positioning.
15. Attach hitch safety chain (#4) to the tractor. Adjust
chain length to remove all slack except what is
necessary to permit turning. Lock chain hook
securely to the safety chain.
IMPORTANT: Protect park jack by storing it on the
left wing deck before moving the cutter. Make sure
jack is stored with its base level or lower than the
head to prevent water and freeze damage.
