WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may
need weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine
proper weight requirements and maximum weight
limitations.
•
The ball detent pin must be fully inserted into the park jack
with ball visible and popped out on the far side of the jack
before working on or around an unhooked cutter.
Refer to Figure 1-11:
1. Make certain park jack (#3) is properly attached to
the cutter hitch and secured with ball detent pin (#8).
2. Adjust park jack angle if it is not vertical. Refer to
“Park Jack Angle Alignment” on page 30.
3. If clevis hitch is not already supported horizontal,
rotate clevis (#9) horizontal and flip hitch holder (#13)
up so that its holes are on top as shown.
4. Insert customer-supplied hitch pin (#1) through holes
in hitch holder (#13) as shown in detail A. Secure with
hairpin cotter (#2).
5. Store center 3-point link in its storage hook.
6. Start tractor, raise 3-point arms fully up, and carefully
back tractor within close proximity of clevis (#9).
7. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 15.

“Drawbar Set-up”
dimensions on page 13.
NOTE:
Hitch pin (#1) and hairpin cotter (#2) are
customer-supplied.
9. Raise or lower park jack (#3) to align clevis (#9) with

cutter hitch until hitch holes in tractor drawbar and
hitch clevis (#9) are aligned.

supported by tractor drawbar.
16. Remove park jack (#3) from hitch and attach it to the
weight box storage base with ball detent pin (#8).
Make sure the base is level with or lower than the
head. See cover picture for correct positioning.
17. 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.
18. Continue with

Plumbing” on page 19.
IMPORTANT: Before moving the cutter, relocate
protect park jack by attaching it to the weight box.
