MOWER SETUP FOR OPERATION

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 following decal is mounted to the
machine and shows 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.

3) The main frame of the mower should be level when hitched to 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 swivel to hold it level while
aligning the hitch. Do not operate mower with the
hitch pin in the hitch swivel.
