!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may
need weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator's Manual to determine
proper weight requirements and maximum weight
limitations.
•
Always follow "Tractor Shutdown Procedure" provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
1.
Make certain park jack (#1) is attached to hitch
mount (#15) and secured with retaining pin (#2).
2. Back tractor within close proximity of clevis (#3).
3. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
"Tractor Shutdown Procedure" on page 16.
4. Raise or lower park jack (#1) to align clevis (#3) with
tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit between lower
and upper clevis plates.
5. Back tractor up to mower hitch until holes in tractor
drawbar and clevis (#3) align.
6. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
"Tractor Shutdown Procedure" on page 16.
NOTE: Hitch pin (#4) and hitch pin keeper (#5) are
customer supplied.
7.
Attach mower with a customer supplied 3/4" hitch
pin (#4) and hitch pin keeper (#5). Always use a hitch
pin that contains a safety locking device to prevent
the hitch pin from coming out.
8. Retract park jack (#1) until weight of mower is fully
removed from the park jack. Remove park jack and

9. Attach safety chain (#8) to the tractor. Adjust chain
length to remove all slack except what is necessary
to permit turning corners with the mower hooked-up.

Driveline Hook-up
Refer to to Figure 1-4:
!
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person's body and/or clothing can become
entangled in the driveline.
•
Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and
gearbox shaft shields must be installed and in good working
condition to avoid driveline entanglement and projectiles
flying off of the driveline.
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor's power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor's power take-off shield.
•
Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each
end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably causing implement damage and
bodily injury or death to anyone nearby.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always shut tractor down using "Tractor Shutdown
Procedure" provided in this manual before servicing,
adjusting, cleaning, or maintaining this implement.
•
Do not engage power take-off with AFM decks in the raised
position or with engine speed above idle. Doing so will
damage power train components.
