Hitch
1. The tractor must be equipped
with a drawbar and a draw-
bar safety chain clevis. For
rigid frame tractors equipped
with swinging drawbar, the
drawbar must be located in a
xed position in the center of
the tractor. Refer to your
tractor operators manual for
drawbar adjustment and
drawbar operating instructions.
WARNING: Tractor drawbar must be in a xed position before
transporting implement. Implement will sway or slam against
tractor resulting in equipment damage or injury to personnel.
WARNING: In case the tractor hitch pin is lost during transport-
ing. The safety chain must be attached between the implement
and tractor to prevent separated implement from running freely
and causing damage or injury.
WARNING: Do not move articulated tractor steering wheel
until everyone is clear of the equipment. Moving the steering
wheel can swing or move attached equipment which could
cause serious personal injury.

2. Before connecting the tool bar to the tractor drawbar, raise the
tractor three point hitch (if equipped) to prevent interference

clevis to the tractor drawbar with hitch pin. Install the safety
chain through the tractor drawbar support bracket.

that the hitch pin is locked in place with a safety type lock pin or
