MOWER SETUP FOR OPERATION
Always refer to tractor operator’s manual for specific detailed
information regarding operation of equipment.
Always ensure the tractor controls are in the park position, the
engine is turned off, the parking brake is engaged and hydraulic
pressure to the tractor remote connectors has been relieved when
working around tractor during setup procedures.
DRAWBAR ADJUSTMENT
Before hitching the mower to the tractor, ensure tractor drawbar is set
properly. Having the proper hitching dimensions for the tractor drawbar
and the PTO, will ensure long and trouble free hours of operation.
Incorrect setup may lead to contact between the mower and PTO
shaft, causing damage to the Input PTO shaft.
The decal shown in Figure 1 is mounted to the machine and indicates
these important hitch dimensions.
1)
The drawbar length must be adjusted so it is 14” to 15” from the end
of the PTO shaft to the center of the draw pin
2) To ensure sufficient clearance, t
he top of the drawbar must be 6” to
9” from the center of the PTO shaft to the top of the drawbar.
3) To assist in connecting the TDR-X to the tractor, the provided hitch
pin can be temporarily placed in the hitch swivel to hold it level while
aligning the hitch, as shown in Figure 3. Do not operate mower with
the hitch pin in the hitch swivel.
