OPERATION

FN180/FN120 07/12 Operation Section 4-10

OPERATION

4. To attach the mower, place two 1”

flatwashers positioned under top lip of

tongue clevis and to the top of drawbar.

Insert a 1” diameter grade 5 or 8 bolt

through clevis and drawbar and retain in

position with a 1” locknut. Tighten the

locknut securely but do overtighten which

could spring or break the clevis. NEVER

attach the mower to the tractor with a pin

not having a nut.

5. Securely attach the mower safety chain to

the tractor drawbar or drawbar support

frame.

6. Lower the jack until the tongue is

completely supported by the drawbar.

Remove jack from the tongue and place on

storage bracket of mower.

Safety Tow Chain

If the mower is towed on a public roadway, a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the

gross weight of the mower must be connected between the tractor and mower. This will help control the

implement in the event the tongue becomes disconnected from the drawbar. Make sure the chain is attached

to a secure location on the tractor and not to an intermediate support. After connecting both ends of the safety

chain, drive the tractor to the right and left to check for proper chain length. Adjust length as necessary and

allow only enough slack in the chain to make a maximum turn in both directions. When not in use, store the

safety chain to protect it from mud or standing water by wrapping the chain around the tongue. Replace the

safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken, stretched or otherwise damaged or deformed.

5.2 Connecting Mower Hydraulic Lines to the Tractor

With the tractor shut down and secured in position, relieve hydraulic pressure from the tractor by moving the

control levers back and forth several times or placing the levers in the float position.

When connecting the mower hydraulic lines, keep hoses, quick couplers, and swivels free of contamination.

Never leave a disconnected hose end open and cap the tractor hydraulic outlet ports when not in use. If the

tractor ports or mower hydraulic hose ends become contaminated, wipe clean with a rag before connecting.

Operating Mower Hydraulics with Three Tractor Hydraulic Ports

Connect one hose into each hydraulic port. Connect lines to correspond with position of hydraulic control

levers.
