Mower Setup For Operation; Hitch Adjustment - Progressive Turf Equipment Pro-Flex 120 Operators Manual & Parts Lists

MOWER SETUP FOR OPERATION

Always refer to tractor operator's manual for specific detailed
information regarding operation of equipment.
Always ensure the tractor controls are in the park position, the
engine is turned off, the parking brake is engaged and hydraulic
pressure to the tractor remote connectors has been relieved
when working around tractor during setup procedures.

HITCH ADJUSTMENT

Before hitching the mower to the tractor, ensure tractor drawbar is set
properly. Having the proper hitching dimensions for the tractor
drawbar and the PTO, will ensure long and trouble free hours of
operation. Incorrect setup may lead to contact between the
mower and PTO shaft, causing damage to the shaft.
The decal shown is mounted to the machine and indicates these
important hitch dimensions.
1) The drawbar length must be adjusted so it is 14" to 15" from
the end of the PTO shaft to the center of the draw pin.
2) The top of the drawbar must be adjusted so it is 6" to 9" from
the center of the PTO shaft to the top of the drawbar.

the tractor. The Pro-Flex 120 features an adjustable height
hitch; the above figure shows the pivoting Draw Clevis and
bolt-on Clevis Mounting Bracket that can be turned to give a
total of 3" in height adjustment.
4) The position of the hose support and hose guide rod may
need to be adjusted to provide clearance to the PTO shaft.
5) To assist in connecting the Pro Flex 120 to the tractor, the
provided hitch pin can be temporarily placed in the hitch
