4.1. CONNECTING TO THE TRACTOR
The SGM mowers are designed to be mounted on tractors up to 50 hp equipped with 3-point Hitch
Category 1 (ISO 730 standard).
Check the tractor PTO to ensure it is set at 540 rpm and turns clockwise.
Before connect the implement to the tractor, make sure that tractor and mower are on a flat, sta-
ble and dry surface.
To connect the mower to the tractor the operator must do the following:
Drive the tractor in reverse up to the mower, in order to slip the tractor hitch arms over the
hitch pins of the mower (see picture below);
Set the tractor's parking brake, stop engine, remove the ignition key and get off the tractor;
Connect the lifting arms of the tractor to the lower hitches of the mower, through the use of the
pins and relative safety split pins;
Adjust the tractor sway blocks or chains to remove all side movement;
Connect the tractor top link to the mower top link plate through the relative pin and safety split
pin. The 3-point hitch system of the mower is designed to have a limited front to back flotation
when mowing on uneven terrain. Adjust the tractor’s top link until the top link plate of the mow-
er is in vertical position respect to the deck (see picture below), in order to allow the mower to
follow the ground contour during mowing operation.
