6. CONNECTING THE MOWER TO THE SKID STEER

Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the skid steer. The mower should be securely resting at

ground level or on blocks. Keep hands and feet out from under the mower and clear of pinch points between

the mower and skid steer. OPS-SS-0023

Always shut the Power Unit completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the

parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement

and Power Unit hitches.

Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted

component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up

to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious

injury or even death.

The mower can only be attached to skid steers equipped with a universal quick mount

hitch. The mower attaches to the skid steer by engaging the skid steer mounting plate

under the mower hitch saddle weldment and locking hitch pins to secure the skid steer and

mower hitches together. OPS-SS-0024

With the engine completely shut down and the

parking brake set, rotate the skid steer latch

handles upward to the unlatched position.

latch handles must be completely raised to fully

retract the hitch lock pins.

1. Start the skid steer and tilt the hitch mounting

plate forward while guiding the mounting plate

crest under the attachment saddle of the

mower. Raise and roll back the mounting plate

until the mower hitch plate is securely seated

flat against the skid steer mounting plate.
