ATTACHING ATTACHMENTS
Most front mounted attachments can be positioned so
that it is convenient to drive into the hitch harness
with nearly correct alignment
(Figure 19)
.
Some
adjustment is usually required to complete the hitch
engagement.
When completely engaged, move the “Easy Tach”
lever to “lock” position
(Figure 20)
. If lever will not
move into “lock” position, check the attachment for
complete engagement.
MOWER ATTACHMENTS
Mower attachments have a floating hitch. If mower
cutting height is set near the highest position, the
machine can be driven to the hitch arm. Then raise
the hitch until the mating arms are parallel.
1.
Shut off the engine and engage the park brake.
2.
Walk to the front of the mower and push it into the
machine as far as the hitch will allow. Make sure
both sides are completely engaged and locked.
(Figure 21)
.
3.
Install the mower PTO belt on the drive pulley
between the hitch arms
(Figure 20)
.
Note:
1.
Attachment change is made easier and safer by
always using level clean surfaces.
2.
Heavy duty, close tolerance latch hooks
(Figure
21)
make complete engagement of attachment hitch
necessary on both sides before “Easy Tach” lock can
close.
