Hitch Assembly
Refer to Figure 1-4 for RCR2596 hitch assembly and
Figure 1-5 for RCR2510 hitch assembly:
1. Assemble tongue (#1) to the deck using hitch
pins (#2), spacer tubes (#3) and linchpins (#4).
NOTE:
Do not tighten hardware to the correct
torque until assembly is complete.
NOTE:
If preferred, the front guards may be
assembled first. See
“Assembly of Optional
Equipment”
on page 23 for front guard assembly
instructions.
2. Attach level rod assemblies (#8) to tongue (#1) using
clevis pins (#5), flat washers (#6) and cotter
pins (#7). Make sure level rod adjusting nuts are
threaded the same distance on both rods. This will
ensure a level unit.
3. Remove hydraulic hose holder (#9) from the hitch
and install to the cutter deck with 3/4" x 1 1/2" GR5
hex head cap screw (#12) and 3/4" hex locknut (#13)
as shown. Tighten mounting bracket hardware as
needed to secure hose holder in place.
4. Route hydraulic hose through the hose holder loop.
5. Remove parking jack (#10) from its storage position
on the deck and attach to the tongue (#1). Secure
with attached pin (#11). Adjust jack to desired height.
