HONDA MM60 - Manual (Page 34)

INSTALLING MOWER
OPERATING YOUR MOWER WITH OTHER
EQUIPMENT
You may operate your
MM60 mower with three-
point hitch mounted attachments and with the
FL6555 Front Loader sub frame only. You must
not operate or install the mower while any other
attachments are installed on the tractor.
A minimum 20% of tractor and
equipment weight must be on tractor front
wheels with mower in transport position.
Without this weight, tractor could tip over
causing personal injury or death. The weight
may be attained with front wheel weights,
ballast in tires or front tractor weights. When
attaining the minimum 20% weight on the
front wheels, you must not exceed the Roll
Over Protection Structure (ROPS) weight
certification. Weigh the tractor and equip-
ment. Do not estimate.
Using Three-Point Hitch Attachments
1
. Start the engine and set Lift Control Lever to
“UP” and raise the mower to maximum height.
Turn Lowering Speed Control fully clockwise to
lock
lift arms in up position. Leave Lift Control
Lever in “UP” position. Stop engine, set brake
and remove keys.
Make sure to turn Lowering
Speed Control fully clockwise to lock hydrau-
lic system
before attaching mower deck
hook.
This prevents the mower deck from
descending and causing injury to feet or
hands.
2. Pull linchpin holding mower hook to mower
hook bracket. Turn mower hook in adjusting pin
so
that it is long enough to reach projecting
lockup pin on bracket attached to tractor frame
as
illustrated. Adjust the mower hook so that it
fits TIGHTLY over the projecting lockup pin on
tractor. This
will minimize the backlash on the
lockup pin when it supports the mower.
3. Slip mower hook over lockup pin, and secure
with washer
and
linchpin removed from mower
hook bracket. Insert linchpin from front to back
to lock properly.
