OPERATION
PREPARING THE TRACTOR
1. Select proper tractor size. The minimum
power required is 35 hp (26 kw). Also,
minimum tractor weight is 5000 lbs. (2268 kg)
and minimum hydraulic pressure required is
1350 psi (9300 kPa).
2. Adjust tractor drawbar to meet ASAE
Standard specifications as listed below. An
improperly located drawbar may damage the
universal joints of the implement driveline,
and/or affect header flotation and guard
angle.
Be sure the following specifications are met:
(A) 14 in. (356 mm) for 540 rpm
(B) 6 to 12 in. (152 to 305 mm) with 8 in. (203
mm) recommended.
(C) 13 to 17 in. (330 to 432 mm) from ground with
16 in. (406 mm) recommended.
NOTE: An offset drawbar (D) can be turned over
if required to meet specifications (B) and (C).
3. Secure the drawbar so the hitch pinhole is
directly below the driveline.
NOTE: If the tractor has a 3-point hitch, raise the
lower links as high as possible, to prevent
damage.
4. Use 540 rpm PTO speed only.
5. Attach support (E) for hitch chain to suitable
location on tractor drawbar, maximum 6 in.
(150 mm) from hitch pinhole.
6. Tractor must be equipped with a seven
terminal electrical outlet (F) to supply power
to the mower conditioner warning lights.
