A - Axle Bracket Bottom Hole

B - Axle Bracket Top Hole

C - Sway Chain Turnbuckle

D - Strap

NOTE: Check implement operator's manual for instructions on whether to allow side sway.

Top hole (B): No side-to-side movement (sway).

Bottom hole (A): Allow side-to-side movement (sway chains will tighten as the implement is raised and loosened, allowing side-to-side movement when the implement is lowered).

Use sway chain turnbuckle (C) to take up chain slack as needed.

IMPORTANT: Do not shorten chains so short they do not allow hitch to be raised completely. If chain prevents hitch from rising, hydraulic relief valve will open, causing excessive oil heating and pump or equipment damage.

NOTE: Use spring or rubber strap (D) to keep draft links clear of rear tires when draft links are not attached to implement.
