Attaching Pin Drawbar Tongue to the TractorBefore attaching the mower-conditioner to the tractor, see Section "Preparing the Tractor" and "Preparing the Mower-Conditioners" for proper adjustment of tractor drawbar and equal hitch installation and pin drawbar tongue. With or without equal hitch, always attach mower-conditioner as follows: Install ball joint hitch (A) on equal hitch installation (B). Attach safety chain (C) as shown. Leave only enough slack for turns.
IMPORTANT: NEVER use the safety chain (C) for towing! Once the tongue is attached, always refer to "Adjusting Telescoping Hook-up" in this Section to properly adjust the length of the telescoping hook-up. |

CAUTION:
The chain must prevent the tongue from hitting the ground in case the mower conditioner accidentally detaches from the tractor.
