Frontier DH5410C User Manual

Attaching the Disk to the Tractor
The disk is equipped with a heavy tongue that both
flexes and swivels to accommodate the most rugged
terrain including large rocks and tree stumps. This is
an essential design feature; however it requires extra
care when attaching the disk to a tractor.
For best results, the tractor used to pull this unit should
be equipped with a swinging drawbar with a clevis end.
The following procedure is recommended.
This procedure is best carried out with the disk
in the raised position and the transport lock
installed over the hydraulic cylinder. Use the
hitch jack to raise or lower the tongue to the
level where the tongue will lay on the drawbar.
Unpin the swinging drawbar and slide it to one
side. Back the tractor to the approximate
point where swinging the drawbar back to the
center will trap the tongue in the clevis. With
the tractor parked and the brake engaged, lift
the tongue (2) and swing the drawbar into the
center position (1).
Install the drawbar pin and its retaining
hardware. This may require moving the tractor
forward or backward slightly. An articulated
tractor or belted tractor can swing the drawbar
side to side by turning the steering wheel
slightly. This procedure may take more than
one attempt – safety takes time.
Attach the safety chain.
If the tractor is not equipped with a swinging
drawbar, it is recommended to fabricate a prop
from a length of wood to hold up the tongue
while the tractor is backed into place.
CAUTION:
Do not allow others to stand between the tractor and disk when moving the
tractor.
Do not allow someone to hold up the tongue while backing the tractor into
place.
Prevent serious injury or death to you or others caused by unexpected
movement of the machine. Engage the parking brake and/or place
transmission in PARK, shut off engine and remove key before working
around hitch.
