SECTION 2 - OPERATION

2-102

SWAY BLOCKS

The sway blocks, 1, control lower link side movement

in both the transport and operating position to

prevent the equipment swaying from side to side.

This is especially important when operating on

slopes near fences, walls or ditches.

The sway blocks can be mounted in a rigid or sway

position.

Rigid Position

To prevent side movement of the equipment in both

the operating and transport positions, rotate the

sway blocks, 1, to the forward position and secure in

the forward (rigid position) hole. Install the pins, 2,

and the clips, 3.

NOTE: The pin must be installed so the clip is on the

inside of the drawbar support.

154

Swing Position

When it is desirable to have side movement of the

equipment in the operating position, but remain rigid

in the transport position, rotate the sway blocks, 1,

rearward and secure them. Install pins, 2, and clips,

3, in the rear (swing position) hole.

NOTE: The pin must be installed so the clip is on the

inside of the drawbar support.

IMPORTANT: When setting the sway blocks to

provide side-to-side movement, be sure that there is

no possibility of the rear tires contacting the sway

blocks, lower links, or implement.

155

GUIDE BLOCKS, SPACERS AND SHIMS

The guide blocks and spacers can be positioned so

the 3-point hitch will accept category II, category III

N or category III implements.

Category II or Category III N Position

Install the guide blocks, 1, on the inside of the lower

links. Add shims, 2, if required.
