Adjusting the Sway Links
No Parts Required
Procedure
Adjust the sway links on the lower draft arms of the 3-point
hitch to minimize side-to-side sway to a maximum of 25 mm
(1 inch) on each side.
1. Adjust the lower links inboard until they contact the
blower mounting plates (
Figure 7 ).
Note:
This will reduce the stress on the pins. If the
tractor has sway chains instead of sway links, install the
washers between the lower link arm and lynch pin to
reduce the overhung load on the lift pins.

lower the link arm until the blower is leveled from side
to side (
Figure 7 ).
Note:
Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for additional
installation and adjustment procedures.

Adjusting the 3-Point-Lift Stop
No Parts Required
Procedure
Adjust and set the 3-point-lift stop to provide approximately
10 cm (4 inches) ground clearance, when in the raised
position, to minimize the PTO angle when raising the blower.
For transporting or trailer loading/unloading, the full-lift
range can be used as long as the PTO tubes do not slide
apart (
Figure 8 ).
Important:
Operating the PTO in the fully-raised
position may damage the PTO or other components
Note:
Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for adjustment
procedures.
