Double Swivel Clevis Hitch Hook-up

DANGER

A Crushing Hazard exists when hooking-up equipment to a

tractor. Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and

implement while backing-up to implement. Do not operate

hydraulic 3-Point lift controls while someone is directly

behind the tractor or near the implement.

Refer to Figure 1-6:

1. Make certain parking jack (#3) is properly attached

to cutter and secured with attachment pin (#8).

2. Back tractor within close proximity of swivel

clevis (#2). Be sure to allow room to rotate swivel

clevis (#2) up without hitting tractor drawbar (#12).

3. Rotate swivel clevis (#2) up until level as shown and

insert 1"-8 x 5 1/2" GR5 hex bolt (#1) through lower

holes (A) to hold swivel clevis level.

4. Raise or lower parking jack (#3) until swivel

clevis (#2) is in-line with tractor drawbar (#12).

5. Back tractor up until holes in swivel clevis (#2) align

with hole in tractor drawbar (#12).

6. Remove bolt (#1) from holes (A) and insert it through

upper plate of clevis (#2), two flat washers (#9),

drawbar (#12), two more flat washers (#9), and lower

plate of clevis (#2). Add more flat washers (#9) if

necessary to take up any remaining slack.

7. Secure hex bolt (#1) with hex nut (#10). Draw hex nut

up snug. Do not tighten.

8. Screw hex jam nut (#11) up against hex nut (#10).

9. Hold hex nut (#10) and tighten jam nut (#11) to the

correct torque.

10. Lower parking jack (#3) until hitch weight is

supported by tractor drawbar.

11. Remove Parking jack (#3) from hitch frame and

attach it to the left-hand wing deck storage base with

attachment pin (#8). Make sure the base is level with

or lower than the head especially after the wings are

folded up. See cover picture for correct positioning.

12. Attach hitch safety chain (#4) to the tractor. Adjust

chain length to remove all slack except what is

necessary to permit turning. Securely lock chain

hook to the safety chain.

13. See “Driveline Installation” on page 17 and

“Hydraulic Hook-up” on page 18.

IMPORTANT: Jack attachment pin must be fully

inserted and secured before working on or around a

cutter not hooked to the tractor drawbar.

IMPORTANT: Protect parking jack by storing it on

the left wing deck before moving the cutter. Make

sure the jack is stored with its base level or lower

than the head to prevent water and freeze damage.
