The MAXIMUS disk is designed to mount directly
to the Category I, Category II, or Category
IIIN 3-point hitch of an agricultural tractor. An
ASAE-approved Category I, Category II, or
Cateogry IIIN quick-hitch may be used with
this implement.
When using a Category IIIN 3-point hitch or
Category IIIN quick-hitch, adapter bushing will
be required. See your dealer for assistance.
Back the tractor to the disk and align the lower
lift arms with the appropriate lugs in the disk
hitch. The lift arms should fit between the in -
ner two lug plates for a Category I hitch and
the outer two lug plates for a Category II or
Category IIIN hitch. Be certain to use the lower
lift lugs that are suited to your tractor. See your
tractor operator's manual or consult your dealer
to determine which hitch is used on your tractor.
Insert the lower lift pins through the disk and
tractor hitch and secure with the lynch pin.
The upper hole in the disk hitch mast should
be used with a Category I three point hitch.
Adjust the top link to the proper length to keep
the disk frame level when operating. Insert the
linkage pin through the mast and tractor top
link and secure with the lynch pin.
When using a quick hitch, lower the quick hitch
to slide under the disk hitch. If you are using
a Category I quick hitch, use the appropriate
bushings with the quick hitch. See your tractor
operator's manual or dealer for more informa-
tion. Align the quick hitch with the appropriate
lower lugs and the lowest pin in the mast.
