ATTACHING THE MOWER TO THE TRACTOR
Attaching the Mower to the Tractor
Prepare the tractor: Before attaching the mower
to the tractor ensure that the tractor is properly
prepared, refer to PREPARING THE TRAC-
TOR.
Assemble the mower tow-hitch to the tractor:
Ensure that the tractor ring-hitch is in the normal
towing position.
The mower should be standing on level ground
with the handbrake applied and supported at the
front end by the jockey wheel. The jockey wheel
height should be adjusted such that the mower
framework is aligned horizontally with the ground.
Reverse the tractor to approximately the correct
position in relation to the mower to establish the
mower drawbar position.
Apply the tractor parking brake, stop the engine
and remove the ignition key.
Align the mower tow-hitch with the tractor ring-
hitch. If necessary adjust the height of the tow-
hitch by fitting the drawbar in the appropriate
mounting holes in the mower front plate.

Assemble the drawbar to the mower in the required
position and tighten the 4 M16 fasteners to 200Nm
torque.
Engage the tractor ring-hitch to the mower tow-
hitch after lubricating with grease.
Rotate the jockey wheel handle clockwise to
raise the jockey wheel to a position just above the
ground. Unclamp the jockey wheel assembly, slide
it upwards and re-clamp in its storage position.
Check that the mower frame is still horizontally
aligned with the ground and re-adjust if necessary.
Assemble the breakaway cable: Assemble the
breakaway cable between the handbrake lever
and a rigid location on the tractor. Ensure that the
breakaway cable location will provide straight
line operation in the event of a breakaway. In the
event of the mower uncoupling from the tractor the
breakaway cable automatically applies the brakes.
