Connecting The Mower To The Tractor - RHINO FN180 Operator's Manual

5. CONNECTING THE MOWER TO THE TRACTOR

Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the tractor. The mower should be securely resting at
ground level or setting on blocks. Keep hands and feet from under the mower deck and clear of pinch points
between the tractor hitch arms and mower pins. OPS-R-0001
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.
5.1 Connecting the Mower Tongue to the Tractor
1. Ensure the tractor is equipped with the
correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is set at
the correct length.
2. Using the parking jack, position the tongue
clevis to the height of the tractor drawbar.
Adjust the mower tongue to be level and
parallel with the tractor drawbar using the
control rod connecting the mower tongue to
the deck.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Back
the tractor to the mower aligning the drawbar
hitch hole with the mower tongue clevis.
Turn off the tractor engine, place the tractor
in park, and set the parking brake before
dismounting.
