OPERATION

ATTACHING WINDROWER TO TRACTOR

CAUTION: Shut off tractor, engage

parking brake and remove key before

working around hitch.

CAUTION: Never attach windrower to

tractor rear axle or three-point hitch

arms.

1. Attach windrower hitch to tractor drawbar with a

1-3/16 inch (30 mm) pin and secure with a

spring locking pin or other suitable fastener.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to

driveline guards, use a drawbar hitch

pin with a low head.

NOTE: For 36 ft. units it is especially important

to use the largest diameter hitch pin possible,

to limit possible rotation of the stabilizer chain

anchor plate.

2. Route hitch chain from windrower through

chain support (A), around drawbar support and

lock hook (B) on chain.

IMPORTANT: Adjust chain length to remove all

slack except what is needed for turns.

3. Remove weight from jack. Remove pin (C) and

rotate jack to storage position. Replace pin,

looping the retaining chain around jack handle

to prevent dragging.

4. Pull back spring loaded collar (D) on

telescoping driveline yoke and slide collar onto

tractor PTO shaft. Release collar, ensuring

yoke locks in position on shaft.
