Safety Chain
Refer to Figure 1-8:
When towing implements on the road, use safety
chain (#7) to contain the implement should the hitch pin
become lost. After attaching the safety chain to the
tractor, check chain length by driving the tractor to the
right and to the left for a short distance. If necessary,
re-adjust chain length to eliminate a tight or loose chain.
Make sure the chain hook is securely locked in place
when finished.
NOTE:
Length of leveling rod couplers may need
adjusting to obtain correct drawbar height. See
“Pull-Type Leveling & Cutting Height”

DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking the
implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-up
to the implement or pulling away from the implement. Do not
operate hydraulic controls while a person or animal is directly
behind the power machine or near the implement.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always disengage power take-off, put tractor in park or set
park brake, shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and
wait for blades to come to a complete stop before
•
Jack must be installed on the hitch and jack attachment pin
must be fully inserted and secured before working on or
around an implement not hooked to the tractor drawbar.
Distances between center of drawbar hitch pin hole to
end of tractor power take-off shaft and from top of
drawbar hitch to center of power take-off shaft must be
maintained when using Pull-type hitches. See
on page 12 for correct distances.
1. Make certain jack stand (#1) is properly attached to
cutter hitch and secured with attachment pin (#2).
2. Back tractor within close proximity of cutter
clevis (#6).
3. Raise or lower jack (#1) to align clevis (#6) with
tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit between lower
and upper plates of clevis.
4. Back tractor up to cutter hitch until holes in the
drawbar and clevis (#6) are aligned.
