the pivot arms. Mount the height adjust screw on the deck assembly in the hole provided.
Secure with the 1/2"x1" hex head bolt and lock nut provided on the height adjust screw.
Note: Tighten 1/2" x 3-1/2" and 1/2" x 1" hex head bolts until just snug. This area needs to
pivot when adjusting the height. Under tightening can result in excessive wear and
flexing. Over tightening will make adjusting the cutting height very difficult.
3. Remove the 1/2" x 5-1/2" bolts and lock nuts from the ends of both of the cross brace tubes.
Attach the cross brace tubes to the two remaining unused holes located on the top of each
carrier arm. Place the 1/2" x 5-1/2" bolts through the carrier arm from the bottom up. Place
the lock nut on the bolt from the top side. Snug the lock nut up but do not fully tighten. The
cross brace tube needs to pivot slightly during height adjustment.
B. INSTALLATION OF LAWN & GARDEN HITCHING (refer to the Operation and Adjustment
Section for recommended hitching) (if the ATV Tongue was purchased refer to section C.
Installation of ATV Tongue)
1. The tongue can be installed either on the left or right caster assembly depending on how the
wing mower will be towed. See figure 1. Tighten the lock nut on the 1/2" x 3-1/2" pivot bolt so
the tongue is free to pivot but does not move sideways.
Note: The tongue can be installed upside down so it will match up with tow vehicles with
higher hitches.
2. The tow vehicle hitch provided is a universal hitch that should fit most tow vehicles. Slight
modifications may be necessary for some tow vehicles.
3. Attach the tow vehicle hitch to the tow vehicle draw bar top or bottom depending on best
support, and secure with the longer 1/2" hex head bolt, flatwasher, nut, and lockwasher
provided. See figure 2.
Note: On some tow vehicles the draw bar will need to be strengthened to support the hitch
assembly securely.
4. Adjust the hitch stop angle with stop bolts as close as possible to the vertical member on the
back of the tow vehicle and adjust stop bolts securely against vertical member to keep hitch
from pivoting from side to side.
Note: The hitch should be positioned on the tow vehicle so the stop bolts have a solid member
to adjust to. On most tow vehicles two bolts can be used to attach the hitch assembly to
the draw bar, eliminating the need for the hitch stop angle.
5. The telescoping hitch can either be installed to the left or right and should clear the back of the
tire by about 2".
6. If one mower is pulled on both the left and right side of the tow vehicle, then one telescoping
hitch can be mounted to the left and one to the right.
