Crushing Hazard:
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and drill. Do not stand or place any part of
your body between machines being hitched. Stop tractor
engine and set parking brake before installing hitch pin.
2.
To adjust the drill hitch to match your tractor-drawbar
height, mount tongue jack on side of tongue. Use
jack to raise drill tongue so lowest hitch hole is
18 inches off ground.
Note: When hitching drill to a different tractor, check for a
difference in drawbar heights. If heights are
different, readjust hitch height accordingly.
3.
Securely attach safety chain to an anchor on a
tractor capable of pulling the drill.
4.
Store jack on top of tongue.
5.
Plug drill electrical lead in tractor seven-pin
connector. If your tractor is not equipped with a
seven-pin connector, contact your dealer for
installation.
