Tighten the 5/8" x 2" stabilizer bolts against the implement hitch and then tighten the jam nuts. See Figure 5 on Page 5. iMPORtANt: Some implements may require that the stabilizer bolts not be tightened. Refer to your implement owner's manual. • The sleeve hitch is assembled in the lowest position by following the assembly instructions. If the implement attached to the sleeve hitch is not level front to back during operation, move the hex bolt to a different hole in the lifting link (3 holes available) that gives better leveling. • Clean off after each use. • Oil pivot points as needed. • Store in a dry location. OPeRAtiON • To tow an implement that has a tow hitch, simply remove three clevis pins and then remove the Sleeve Hitch Lift Assembly from the Sleeve Hitch Frame Assembly. • To remove the entire Sleeve Hitch attachment, remove the 5/8" x 1-3/4" hex bolt and 5/8" nylock nut which fasten the bottom of the sleeve hitch to the tractor hitch, then lift the attachment off the tractor.
