1. With the engine completely shut down and
the parking brake set, rotate the skid steer
latch handles upward to the unlatched
position. The latch handles must be
completely raised to fully retract the hitch lock
pins.
2. Start the skid steer and tilt the hitch mounting
plate forward while guiding the mounting plate
crest under the attachment saddle of the
mower. Raise and roll back the mounting
plate until the mower hitch plate is securely
seated flat against the skid steer mounting
plate.
3. With the mower fully supported by the skid
steer boom, lower the mower to ground level.
Slightly tilt the front of the mower head
upward about 2” from ground level. Turn off
the engine, set the parking brake, and exit the
skid steer. Push both latch handles
downward to engage the hitch pins into the
mower hitch retaining tabs. Never extend any
part of your body from the operator’s area to
operate latches or to connect hydraulic lines
or the height limiting chain. The mower hitch
is now securely attached to the mounting
plate of the skid steer.
4. With the skid steer still completely shut down,
secure the height limiting safety chain to the
front of the skid steer chassis.
6.1 Connecting the Hitches
The mower can only be attached to skid steers equipped with a universal quick mount
hitch. The mower attaches to the skid steer by engaging the skid steer mounting plate
under the mower hitch saddle weldment and locking hitch pins to secure the skid steer and
mower hitches together. OPS-SS-0024
