MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Outback® Hitch mechanical
components will ensure years of dependable service and
protect your investment.
Initial Installation: After the first few hours of operation,
check the tightness of all Hitch mounting bolts and hard-
ware. Substantial wear will occur to the Hitch and tractor
drawbar if mounting bolts are not properly tensioned.
Grease Fittings: Proper lubrication of the 5 grease loca-
tions at 12-hour intervals will dramatically prolong the life
of friction production parts. Use an SAE multi-purpose
type grease. Make sure to clean the fittings thoroughly
before using any grease gun.
Replace Worn Components: At the begining of each
application season, check the hitch drawbar for any signs
of free-play, both up and down and side to side. All wear
points of the Hitch include serviceable replacement parts.
Refer to pages A4 and A5 for details.
