NOTE – if your ATV has independent suspension and the hitch height changes with an operator
on-board, then have a person sitting on the ATV when you "level" the L-hitch assembly to your
ATV.
Replace the bolt in the hitch tower and ensure that the locking section of the nut is
engaged when installed, with a minimum of 2 or 3 threads exposed!
Check the centering of the mower to the ATV from front to rear by turning the steering
bars of the ATV from full left to full right and with the mower deck in both the Full – UP and
Full – Down mowing positions with the deck height lever. In all instances the deck height
mechanism should clear both tires evenly and in no circumstance contact the ATV tires. Readjust
if necessary before proceeding!
Step 8 – Centering the mower from side to side beneath the ATV can be accomplished by
placing the handle bars so the ATV front wheels point straight ahead, and measuring how much
of the deck is visible on either side of a straight line drawn from the rear wheel rims forward.
Step 9 – Attach the mower to the ATV with the chains and chain towers provided!
Once the brackets are in the deck, insert the provided cotter pin and when installed – "separate"
the center part of the pin with a screw driver, hammer it lightly into place and then rotate the
screwdriver 90 degrees to ensure the cotter pin can not be withdrawn.
With the deck centered as you did in Step 9 – take the 4" chain attached to each "tower" and
find a location on the frame that will allow you to securely loop the chain around and then bring
it back to the tower, attach it with the provided quick release D-Pin to the other side of the
tower!
Repeat on the opposite side – note the location points you anchor the chain to should be on a
direct line from one tower to the other or as direct as possible!
Move the deck from side to side manually and by pushing forward, reverse and up/down on the
nerf bar at the rear of the mower – tighten the chain one link on either side if required!
NOTE – if finer adjustment is required for front to rear movement,
after the closest hitch bolt hole has been selected, the entire hitch
tower assembly can be adjusted with by loosening the 4 bolts that
hold the hitch assembly to the Power unit frame – adjusting the deck
front to back then re-tightening the hardware.
NOTE – the hitch with the
swivel can be installed in
either the "L – UP" or "L-
Down" positions as shown.
What is important is that the
floating hitch member is in
the horizontal position when
installed on your ATV!
NOTE – Always place this
bolt in the rear set of holes
(on the tower) when
installed.
