Standard Clevis Hitch Hook-up

DANGER
A Crushing Hazard exists when hooking-up equipment to a
tractor. Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and
implement while backing-up to implement. Do not operate
hydraulic 3-Point lift controls while someone is directly
behind the tractor or near the implement.
Refer to Figure 1-5:
1. Make sure parking jack (#3) is properly attached to
cutter hitch and secured with attachment pin (#8).
2. Back tractor within close proximity of clevis (#9).
3. Raise or lower parking jack (#3) to align clevis (#9)
with tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit between
lower and upper plates of clevis.
4. Back tractor up to cutter hitch until holes in drawbar
and clevis hitch (#9) are aligned.
5. Attach cutter to tractor drawbar with customer
supplied hitch pin (#1) and hairpin cotter (#2).
6. Lower parking jack (#3) until hitch weight is
supported by drawbar. Protect parking jack from
damage by removing it from the hitch and storing it
on the left-hand wing deck storage base. Prevent
water and freeze damage by storing it so that the foot
is level with or lower than the head, especially when
the wing is folded up. See cover picture for correct
position.
7. Attach hitch safety chain (#4) to the tractor. Adjust
chain length to remove all slack except what is
necessary to permit turning. Lock chain hook
securely to the safety chain.
8. See “Driveline Installation” on page 17 and
“Hydraulic Hook-up” on page 18.
IMPORTANT: Jack attachment pin must be fully
inserted and secured before working on or around a
cutter not hooked to the tractor drawbar.
NOTE: Hitch pin (#1) and hairpin cotter (#2) are
supplied by customer.
