You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed between
the hitch and drill. Do not stand or place any part of your body
between the drill and moving hitch. Stop tractor engine and set
park brake before installing hitch pins.
1. Place hitch extension (1) between top hitch plates on
drill. Bolt hitch extension in place as shown in Figure
3-3 using two 1-by-5 1/2-inch bolts (2), lock washers
(3) and hex nuts (4).

4. Position hitch in front of drill so quick-hitch links on
hitch are in line with lower hitch pins on drill. Hydrauli-
cally retract transport-lift cylinders to position quick-
hitch links slightly lower than drill hitch pins.
5. Back hitch up to drill until hitch pins contact quick
hitch. Hydraulically raise hitch just until drill hitch pins
are secure inside quick-hitch links. Do not raise drill
any higher than necessary.
6. Visually confirm that the drill hitch pins have seated
and the quick hitch locks have snapped back out.
7. Attach slotted link bar (1) to top hitch extension on
drill. Use 1-by-3 3/4-inch pin (2) and bushing (3) to pin
level-link bar to drill. Secure pin with clip provided (4).
