5.2 Connecting the Cutter Precision Hitch to the FLEX-ARM

Ensure the FLEX-ARM is equipped with the correct
gearbox output shaft.

Using the parking jack, position the cutter tongue
clevis to the height of the FLEX-ARM precision
hitch.

Insert the 3/4” bolts into the castor wheels to lock
them into place when backing up.

IMPORTANT: Castor Wheel stabilizer pins need to be
inserted in the castor wheels when backing the flex
arm up to connect the mower. All other times pins should
not be in castor wheels.

To align the precision hitch, board the tractor and
start the engine. Back the tractor and FLEX-ARM
to the cutter until arm hitch tongue is close enough
to the cutter swivel. Then use the Flex Arm to extend
the precision hitch tongue towards the cutter hitch
swivel about a foot.Turn off the tractor engine, place
the tractor in park, and set the parking brake before
dismounting. Dismount and view to see how far is
needed to go. Keep extending the flex arm in foot
increments or as much length needed until holes
are aligned.

To attach the mower, place the cutter hitch pin
through the hitch clevis and hitch tongue. Insert
the 1/2” bolt, lockwasher, and flatwasher to the pin
and hitch clevis. This keeps the pin in place and
does not allow it to rotate. Attach the bushing to
the bottom of the pin and insert the roll pin to the
pin. Be sure the bolt is tightened but do not over
tighten. NEVER attach the mower to the tractor
without the bolt or roll pin attached to the retaining
pin .

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.
