2. Position the ring on the tow pole onto the hook of the
pintle hitch (Figure 24).
3. Close the top of the pintle hitch and secure it with the
pin (Figure 24).
4. If the machine is equipped with a trailer-light kit,
connect the wire plug of the tow vehicle to the wire
plug of the machine.
Connecting the Safety Chains to the
Tow Vehicle
Connect the safety chain to the machine and the tow vehicle
as follows:
1. Pull the safety chain through the slots in the keyholes
located in the front post of the machine, so that the
lengths on each side are equal (Figure 25).
2. Cross both lengths of chain under the tow pole.
Note:
Crossing the chains decreases the chances of
the front of the machine dropping to the ground if the
hitch does not hold the connection.

3. Connect each length of chain to the safety chain
mounting point on the tow vehicle with the connecting
links (Figure 26).
Important:
Ensure that the chain has enough
slack for turning around corners when towing the
machine.
Note:
Stow the excess chain inside the bottom of the
front post by pushing it into the keyholes and latching
the appropriate links into the keyhole slots.
