5. CONNECTING THE FLEX-ARM TO THE TRACTOR
Use extreme caution when connecting the FLEX-ARM to the tractor. The FLEX ARM should be securely resting
at ground level with the parking jack foot. Place a block in front of and behind wheels to prevent the FLEX-ARM
from moving. Keep hands and feet out from under the FLEX-ARM and clear of pinch points between the tractor and
FLEX-ARM.
DANGER!
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.

Before starting the tractor ensure the following:
Conduct all pre-start operation inspection and service according to the tractor operator’s manual.
Make sure all guards, shields, and other safety devices are securely in place.
The parking brake is on.
The PTO control lever is disengaged.
The 3-point hitch control lever is in the lowered position.

Refer to the tractor owner’s manual for tractor starting procedures. Only start the tractor while seated and
belted in the tractor operator’s seat. Never bypass the ignition switch by short circuiting the starter solenoid.
After the tractor engine is running, avoid accidental contact with the tractor transmission to prevent sudden
and unexpected tractor movement.
The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all tractor
controls before starting the tractor. Review the tractor operator’s manual and consult an authorized dealer for
tractor operation instructions if needed.
Essential Tractor Controls:
