HITCH INSTALLATION – TRACTOR SIDE
Before installing this hitch make sure engine is off and parking brake is set.
Attaching Quick Hitch to Tractor
1. Lightly grease the deck support arm shaft
(fig.1, item 1) on the tractor.
2. Engage adaptor frame tube sockets (fig.1,
item 2) onto the tractor support arms (fig.1,
item 1) and slide on as shown in figure 2.
Continue to slide on until you can install a
hitch pin (fig.3, item 1) through the hole in
each end of the support arm shafts.
IMPORTANT: If tractor body needs to be
raised, the PTO shield must be in closed or
down position and the equipment must be in
the lowered position. The only time the PTO
shield needs to be open or raised is when
connecting or disconnecting the driveline for
the snowblower or the rotary broom.
Adjustment
Loosen the 3/4” jam nut (fig.4, item 1) or (fig.1,
item 3). Adjust the 3/4” hexagon bolt (fig.4,
item 2) until it contacts the cross-member of the
tractor frame, and securely tighten the 3/4” nut to
prevent the bolt from moving.
IMPORTANT:This adjustment is needed only
once if the same tractor and adaptor are used
together. If you plan to mix tractors and
adaptors, this adjustment will be required each
time you mount an equipment adaptor. Wiring
