MACHINE TO TRACTOR
CONNECTION
AVOID CRUSHING. Do not stand between tractor and implement when connecting or disconnect-
ing implement. Injury or death can result from being trapped between the tractor and implement.
AVOID CRUSHING.
Make sure all personnel are clear of the implement. Lower implement to the
ground, place tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key.
USE BAR STANDS TO SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENT.
Park implement on a clean, dry, and
level surface. An uneven surface could cause implement to shift or fall, resulting in injury or death, as well
as implement damage. Securely support all implement components that must be raised.
CONNECT TRACTOR DRAWBAR TO XD TONGUE TAB:
1. Position the rear of the tractor in front of the tongue tab on the XD tongue.
2. Connect machine lift hydraulic hoses to a tractor hydraulic SCV remote to enable the tongue to
raise up or lower down to align the XD tongue tab with the tractor drawbar.
3. Move tractor into the position that will enable the hitch pin to be inserted through both the
tractor drawbar and XD tongue tab.
4. Place tractor in park.
5. Insert hitch pin
CAUTION!
Escaping pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate skin, resulting in injury
or death. Relieve hydraulic system pressure before connecting or disconnecting trac-
tor. Use cardboard or wood,
NOT BODY PARTS,
to check for suspected hydraulic
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately for proper treatment.

SHIPPING CONFIGURATION
The majority of the 1tRIPr
®
XD is assembled at Orthman Mfg., Inc. The 1tRIPr
®
XD is assembled in an
appropriate shipping configuration to ensure transport safety and efficiency from the manufacturer.
CAUTION
Wing Lock Pin
The 1tRIPr
®
XD may ship folded or unfolded, depending on configurations. If the toolbar ships unfolded
(shown picture above) it will most likely have the rigid wing lock pins installed. These pins will need to be
removed prior to folding the toolbar. (see pg. 6 - 1)
The 1tRIPr
®
XD will also come from the factory without the safety lights or the SMV installed, due to the
potential for damage to those items during shipment. These items will also need to be installed prior to
use or transport of the
1tRIPr
®
XD.
CAUTION!
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WORKING AROUND UNSHIELDED SHARP EDGES. INJURY MAY
RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH SHARP EDGES.
