HITCH CONFIGURATION FOR TRACTORS
WITH CLEVIS TYPE DRAWBAR

OPERATION
PREPARING THE MOWER CONDITIONER
1. Use correct hitch type:
For tractors with clevis type drawbar, use hitch as
shown at (A).
For tractors with straight drawbar, re-position bar
(B) to give clevis type hitch.
2. With the tractor drawbar adjusted to the
recommendations listed under “Preparing the
Tractor”, use the hanger bearing adjustment (C)
so that the implement drive line (D) is as near
level as possible going to the tractor.
IMPORTANT: The telescoping implement driveline
(D) should slide under hand pressure. Grease if
required.
3. Check the tires and inflate if necessary.
Recommended pressure is 20 psi (138 kPa).
CAUTION: When inflating tires, use a
clip-on chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you stand to one side
and not facing the tire.
4. Check for proper assembly and adjustment and make sure that all bolts are tightened securely.
5. Check the tension of both belts and adjust if required. Check the over-running clutch for proper
spring lengths. See Maintenance/Service section.
6. Lubricate the machine completely and check the oil levels of the main gearbox (two places) and the
wobble box. Check that breathers have been installed in boxes. See Maintenance/Service section.
7. Install quick coupler tips, matching the tractor to be used, on the hose ends.
