Connecting The Implement To The Tractor; Connecting The Blade - Bush Hog RO-840 Operator's Manual

Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a
tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators
manual for proper starting instructions.

6. CONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT TO THE TRACTOR

Use extreme caution when connecting the implements to the tractor. The implement should be securely
resting at ground level or setting on blocks. Keep hands and feet from under the units and clear of pinch
points between the tractor hitch arms and implement pins.
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.

interference when raising and lowering the

the tractor to the blade with the 3-point lift arms
positioned between the respective set of blade
A-frame lift lugs. Note: Set the 3-point lift
control to "Position Control" so that the lift arms
maintain a constant height when attaching the
blade. See the tractor Operator's Manual for
correct settings when
equipment.
3. Turn off the tractor engine, set the parking
brake, place the tractor in park, and dismount.
4. One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole between the set of holes of A-frame lift lugs. Insert hitch pin
through the lug and arm holes and insert retaining pin into hitch pin. Walk around to opposite side and
repeat procedure for remaining lift arm and hitch pin.
