Swivel Clevis Hitch Hook-up

DANGER

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  A crushing hazard exists 

while hooking-up and unhooking the implement. Keep people 

and animals away while backing-up to the implement or 

pulling away from the implement. Do not operate hydraulic 

controls while a person or animal is directly behind the power 

machine or near the implement.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  The ball detent pin must be 

fully inserted into the park jack with ball visible and popped 

out on the far side of the jack before working on or around an 

unhooked cutter.

Refer to Refer to Figure 1-9:

1. Make certain park jack (#3) is properly attached 

to the cutter hitch and secured with detent pin (#8). If 

park jack is not vertical, refer to 

“Park Jack Angle 

Alignment” 

on page 29.

2. Store center 3-point link in its storage hook.
3. Start tractor and raise 3-point arms fully up.
4. Carefully back tractor within close proximity of 

clevis (#9).

5. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer 

to 

“Tractor Shutdown Procedure” 

on page 15.

6. Verify tractor drawbar is adjusted correctly. Refer to 

“Drawbar Set-up”

 dimensions on page 13.

7. Raise or lower park jack (#3) to align clevis (#9) with 

tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit between lower 

and upper plates of clevis.

8. Restart tractor and continue to back tractor up to 

cutter hitch until hitch holes in tractor drawbar and 

hitch clevis (#9) are aligned. 

9. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. 

10. Attach cutter to tractor drawbar with customer 

supplied hitch pin (#1) and hairpin cotter (#2). 

11. Lower park jack (#3) until hitch weight is supported 

by drawbar. 

12. Remove park jack (#3) from hitch and attach it to the 

left-hand wing storage base with detent pin (#8). 

Make sure base is level with or lower than the head 

especially after the wings are folded up. See cover 

picture for correct positioning. 

13. Attach hitch safety chain (#4) to tractor. Adjust chain 

length to remove all slack except what is necessary 

to permit turning. Lock chain hook securely to the 

safety chain.

14. Continue with 

“Hydraulic Hook-up” 

on page 19.

NOTE:  

Hitch pin (#1) and hairpin cotter (#2) are 

supplied by customer. 

IMPORTANT: 

Before moving the cutter, relocate 

park jack by storing it on the left wing deck. Make 

sure the jack is stored with its base level or lower 

than the head to prevent water and freeze damage.
