5.3 Attaching to drawbar
The drawbar is to be attached so that the machine is horizontal to the ground (See
‘Drawbar adjustment’). Machines are set up for hitching to the tractor drawbar, as
shown below. Once the tractor is attached to the drawbar, attach the PTO shaft.
Depending on the country of use a safety chain may also be required. Detach in
reverse order of attachment.

5.4 Attaching break-away brake (if fitted)
If the machine is fitted with a hand brake it must be applied when the machine is
detached from the tractor. The hand brake handle has a rope fitted to a calibrated ring
which must have the other end securely fixed to the tractor each time the machine is
attached to the tractor. Should the machine hitch ever become detached from the
tractor, this rope will apply the brakes on the machine.
