WARNING
WARNING
During mower operations, the right tractor tire should
run on stubble between the cut and uncut crop. As
shown in Figure 2-1, tractors with smaller/larger
wheel tread widths require the mower to be mounted
differently to achieve this.
A. Position mower hitch pins and attach mower
to tractor according to the illustration in Figure 2-1
that is closest to your situation. Hitch pins are
reversible to accommodate Cat.I or Cat. II hitches.
On larger tractors it may also be necessary to move
the right wheel inward. The STANDARD configura-
tion will work on tractors with a maximum dimension
of 46” from centerline to outside of right tire.
B. Connect and/or adjust stabilizer bars, sway
blocks, sway chains, or equivalent to prevent laterql
movement of lift arms. Refer to tractor operator’s
manual.
C. Connect hydraulic hose to tractor remote
hydraulic outlet.

If tractor is equipped with a Cat. II quick
hitch, mower must have optional bushings
installed on upper and lower lift pins as
shown in Figure 2-2. Lower lift pins must be
attached to the mower as shown in the
STANDARD configuration of Figure 2-1.
