Connection To Tractor, 3-Point Unit - Schulte FX-209 Operator's Manual

Connection to Tractor, 3-Point Unit

The FX-209 is equipped with a Category 2, and Category 3 3-Point Hitch. A Category 2 quick hitch can also be
used.
When first connecting the universal joint shaft to the tractor slowly raise and lower the unit to ensure that there
is adequate slip range for the power shaft. If there is a problem please contact your dealer for advice.
NEVER STAND BETWEEN THE TRACTOR AND THE ROTARY CUTTER WHILE THE
TRACTOR IS BEING BACKED TO THE HITCH.
Connect the universal joint assembly to the tractor PTO. Align the quick disconnect yoke splines with the
tractor PTO splines. Twist the lock collar and slide the yoke into place. Twist the collar back to lock on the PTO
shaft.
Pull and push on the quick disconnect yoke several times to ensure that the yoke is
connected to the PTO shaft.
BE SURE THAT THE TRACTOR PTO SPEED (540 RPM) MATCHES THE ROTARY
CUTTER GEARBOX SPEED.
