Double Swivel Clevis Hitch Hook-up
!
DANGER
A Crushing Hazard exists when hooking-up equipment to a
tractor. Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and
implement while backing-up to implement. Do not operate
hydraulic 3-Point lift controls while someone is directly
behind the tractor or near the implement.
Refer to Figure 1-6:
1. Make certain parking jack (#3) is properly attached
to cutter and secured with attachment pin (#8).
2. Back tractor within close proximity of swivel
clevis (#2). Be sure to allow room to rotate swivel
clevis (#2) up without hitting tractor drawbar (#12).
3. Rotate swivel clevis (#2) up until level as shown and
insert 1"-8 x 5 1/2" GR5 hex bolt (#1) through lower
holes (A) to hold swivel clevis level.
4. Raise or lower parking jack (#3) until swivel
clevis (#2) is in-line with tractor drawbar (#12).
5. Back tractor up until holes in swivel clevis (#2) align
with hole in tractor drawbar (#12).
6. Remove bolt (#1) from holes (A) and insert it through
upper plate of clevis (#2), two flat washers (#9),
drawbar (#12), two more flat washers (#9), and lower
plate of clevis (#2). Add more flat washers (#9) if
necessary to take up any remaining slack.
7. Secure hex bolt (#1) with hex nut (#10). Draw hex nut
up snug. Do not tighten.
8. Screw hex jam nut (#11) up against hex nut (#10).
9. Hold hex nut (#10) and tighten jam nut (#11) to the
correct torque.
10. Lower parking jack (#3) until hitch weight is
supported by tractor drawbar.
11. Remove Parking jack (#3) from hitch frame and
attach it to the left-hand wing deck storage base with
attachment pin (#8). Make sure the base is level with
or lower than the head especially after the wings are
folded up. See cover picture for correct positioning.
12. Attach hitch safety chain (#4) to the tractor. Adjust
chain length to remove all slack except what is
necessary to permit turning. Securely lock chain
hook to the safety chain.
13. See “Driveline Installation” on page 17 and
“Hydraulic Hook-up” on page 18.
IMPORTANT: Jack attachment pin must be fully
inserted and secured before working on or around a
cutter not hooked to the tractor drawbar.
IMPORTANT: Protect parking jack by storing it on
the left wing deck before moving the cutter. Make
sure the jack is stored with its base level or lower
than the head to prevent water and freeze damage.
