Attaching the Tongue
Wear gloves and use caution when handling the deck. The blades
are extremely sharp and may move as you maneuver the deck.
Attaching the Tongue to the Mower Deck
Attaching the tongue to the brush mower’s deck with hardware
included in the hardware kit will require two persons.
1. Locate and remove the tow bar retaining pin and collar from the
pivot pin on the front of the mower deck (see Figure 2).
2. Pull the handle of the tow bar locking pin up so its spring
pins are above the tongue and then twist the handle 90º so the
bottom spring pin rests on top of the tongue (see Figure 3).
3. Place the tongue over the pivot pin and install the collar and the
tongue retaining pin.
NOTE: The remote control throttle cable and wire harness are
routed inside the tongue housing. Use care not to pinch them when
attaching the tongue over the pivot pin!
5. Pull the tongue locking pin handle up, turn it 90º, and release
the locking pin into the center hole in the tongue mounting plate.
