d. A plastic adapter is fitted for clevis drawbars.
e. A bolt-on clevis converts the mower to suit single tongue tractor
drawbars.
NOTE: The clevis MUST be fitted when the mower is used
with a single-tongue drawbar.
3. Check driveshaft clearance:
a. Connect the large end of the primary driveshaft to the
tractor’s PTO outlet. Place a support under the other end to
hold the driveshaft approximately level.
b. Ensure the shielding on the driveshaft will clear the
drawbar and the drawbar pin.
c. If there is less than 25mm (1”) clearance it may be possible
to adjust the height or increase clearance by fitting the
drawbar up the other way.
d. Remove the driveshaft when finished.
4. Measure drawbar height.
a. Measure from the ground to the top of the lower tongue or
the bottom of the inside of the pickup hook. Regardless of
PTO shielding clearance (above) this measurement MUST be
between 200 and 495mm (8.5 – 19.5”). On tractors with low
profile turf tyres this may not be achievable. If so, fit standard
diameter tyres or use another tractor.
5. Adjust mower tow hitch height and length:
a. The tow hitch is attached to the mower with two bolts, each secured with a self-locking nut.
b. The hitch length can be adjusted. Set it in the shortest position initially.
c. Tow hitch height can be changed by inverting the tow hitch.
