Attach Implements to 3-Point Hitch

CAUTION: Hitch movement can cause injury or death.

IMPORTANT: Ensure center link and lift link adjustments DO NOT cause implement contact with fenders.

NOTE: Engine must be running for 3-point hitch control to work.

Before attaching or detaching implement, place load/draft control (B) into lowest setting. (See Adjust Draft Controls in Section 60.)

Use position control lever (A) to raise or lower implement. DO NOT use rear quick raise/lower buttons (D).

Be sure drawbar will not interfere. If necessary, move drawbar to fully retracted position or remove it. Check for any other potential interference.
