Attaching:

The mower in its parked position from last usage will have its hitch arms extended for
re-engagement. Note: It will be easier to attach if the mower is blocked up with
appropriate material to keep the back high enough to allow for an easier hook-up.
1. Drive the tractor slowly forward to align the hitch lift arms with the mating arms on
the mower. Raise the hitch to align and complete the engagement.
2. Once completely engaged, close the front hitch locking lever.*
3. Engage the parking brake and shut off engine.
4. Place attachment belt over the lower groove of the PTO drive pulley on the hitch.
Make certain that the deck belt is properly routed and engaged in each pulley.
5. Engage the PTO spring tension lever on the mower deck.
6. ALWAYS check that the deck belt is properly located in each pulley groove before
attempting to operate.
7. Reinstall deck shields.

Detaching:

1. Park the tractor on a level surface and set the parking brake.
2. Lower the mower to the ground.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Disengage the PTO spring tension lever on the mower deck.
5. Remove the attachment belt from the PTO drive pulley on the hitch.
6. Remove the 2 slider rods from the front tractor fenders.
7. Disengage the hitch locking lever.*
8. Restart the tractor and slowly back away from the mower. NOTE: It will be easier
to re-attach if the mower is blocked up with appropriate material to keep the back
high enough to allow for an easier hook-up.
The fenders may remain on the tractor if so desired.
