6.1 Connecting the Windrower Tongue to the Tractor
1. Ensure the tractor is equipped with the correct
PTO shaft and the drawbar is set at the correct
length.
2. Adjust the clevis up or down to obtain a level
running position for the PTO universal joint
assembly. The universal joint assembly should
not be more than 5" (13 cm) out of line (up or
down) from input to output end.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Back the
tractor to the SRW1000 aligning the drawbar
hitch hole with the SRW1000 tongue clevis.
Turn off the tractor engine, place the tractor in
park, and set the parking brake before
dismounting.
4. To attach the SRW1000 insert the hitch pin
through the drawbar and tongue clevis. Once
the pin is inserted, attach the snap ring pin
through the hole on the hitch pin and snap in
place.
5. Attach safety tow chain to implement and
tractor. Fasten the large loop of the safety chain
to the hitch. Then pass hook end of safety
chain through the large loop. Refer to you
tractor operator’s manual for complete
instructions to attach to tractor. Adjust length to
allow only enough slack as is needed for
turning. Lock hook on chain. Ensure chain
rating is equal to or greater than gross weight of
towed equipment.
6. Lower the jack until the tongue is completely
supported by the drawbar. Remove jack from
the tongue and place on storage bracket of
windrower.
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
