Mower Setup For Operation; Hitch Adjustment - Progressive Turf Equipment TD92 Operator's Manual

MOWER SETUP FOR OPERATION

Always refer to tractor operator's manual for specific detailed
information regarding operation of equipment.
Always ensure the tractor controls are in the park position, the
engine is turned off, the parking brake is engaged and hydraulic
pressure to the tractor remote connectors has been relieved when
working around tractor during setup procedures.

HITCH ADJUSTMENT

Before hitching the mower to the tractor, ensure tractor drawbar is set
properly. Having the proper hitching dimensions for the tractor drawbar
and the PTO, will ensure long and trouble free hours of operation.
Incorrect setup may lead to driveline vibration and reduced
component life.
The decal shown is mounted to the machine and indicates these
important hitch dimensions.
1) The drawbar length must be adjusted so it is 14" to 15" from
the end of the PTO shaft to the center of the draw pin.
2) The top of the drawbar must be adjusted so it is 6" to 9" from
the center of the PTO shaft to the top of the drawbar.
3) The main frame of the mower should be level when hitched to
the tractor. The TD92 features an adjustable height hitch.
There are (2) mounting positions to attach the mower hitch
depending on the height of the tractor drawbar:
a. 10 ½ - 15" height – use lower hitch mounting location.
Adjust input pto alignment using supplied ½" spacers under
hanger bearing mount.
b. 15 - 19½" height – use upper hitch mounting location WITH
3" spacer tubes AND ½" spacers under hanger bearing
mount.
4) The hitch can also be mounted in 2 positions (flip over) within
each mounting location for further adjustability.
5) Using the supplied ½" spacers, adjust the height of the hanger
bearing mount so that the input PTO shaft is in-line with the
tractor PTO.
