TION
NOTE: If attaching Mower Clevis, tractor drawbar must extend to rear to allow turning without binding in the
Tongue Clevis. DO NOT USE THIS TYPE DRAWBAR WITHOUT STABILIZERS. Install washers the same as
detailed previously. See art below.
NOTE: NEVER ATTACH MOWER TO TRACTOR WITH A PIN NOT HAVING A NUT.
The two halves of the Clevis must be bolted together securely to carry the load properly without springing or
breaking the Clevis.
DANGER! Failure to adjust the Drawbar to the CORRECT LENGTH, failure to PROVIDE DRAWBAR
CLEARANCE sufficient for short turns, and/or failure to ATTACH CLEVIS TO THE DRAWBAR
correctly and securely MAY ALLOW THE MOWER TO SEPARATE FROM THE TRACTOR
AND/OR THE DRIVELINE HALVES TO SEPARATE WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY
INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OPERATOR OR OTHERS.

SAFETY CHAINS - PULL TYPE
When towing implements on the highway, use safety chain supplied with Implement. This will control the
implement in the event the hitch pin is lost.
After attaching the safety chain, make a trial run by driving the tractor to the right and to the left for a short distance
to check safety chain adjustment. If necessary, readjust to eliminate tight or loose chain.
