Safety Chain
Refer to Figure 1-8:
When towing implements on the highway, use a safety
chain (#7) with tensile strength equal to or greater than
the gross weight of the implement to be towed by the
tractor. This will control the implement in the event the
hitch pin is lost.
After attaching safety chain (#7) to the tractor, make a
trial run by driving the tractor to the right and to the left for
a short distance to check the safety chain adjustment. If
necessary, re-adjust to eliminate a tight or loose chain.
Make sure chain hook is securely locked in place.
NOTE: May need to adjust the leveling rod nut
couplers to obtain correct drawbar height.
