Auto Hitch Slide
The auto hitch mechanism ensures that the GreensPro remains safely connected
to the tow vehicle during transport; refer to the
Operator’s Manual . When
properly adjusted, the auto hitch lever must be allowed to reach its fully pressed
position without restriction from the auto hitch slide. Proper adjustment also
allows the slide to reach its stop when the lever is fully released. Check and
adjust the auto hitch mechanism as necessary, and after the hitch components
are repaired or replaced.
1. To adjust the auto hitch slide, remove the bolt and locknut that secure the
lever rod to the adjustable yoke ( Figure 60 ).

2. Loosen the hex nut against the adjustable yoke and turn the yoke as
necessary to increase or decrease the amount of slide travel/lever movement.
3. Temporary install the bolt and locknut that secure the adjustable yoke to the
lever rod and check the auto hitch slide mechanism as follows:
A. Fully press the auto hitch lever downward ( Figure 61 ). The lever should
reach the fully pressed position with the lever rod contacting the tow
bar. The auto hitch slide should be as close to the end of the tow bar as
possible without making contact. Adjust as necessary.
