INSTALLING MOWER 
OPERATING 
YOUR MOWER 
WITH OTHER 
EQUIPMENT 
You may operate your 
MM60 mower with three- 
point hitch mounted attachments and with the 
FL6555 Front Loader sub frame only. You must 
not operate or install the mower while any other 
attachments are installed on the tractor. 
A minimum 20% of tractor and 
equipment weight must be 
on tractor front 
wheels with mower in transport position. 
Without this weight, tractor could tip over 
causing personal injury or death. The weight 
may be attained with front wheel weights, 
ballast in tires or front tractor weights. When 
attaining the minimum 20% weight on the 
front wheels, you must not exceed the Roll 
Over Protection Structure (ROPS) weight 
certification. Weigh the tractor and equip- 
ment. Do not estimate. 
Using Three-Point Hitch Attachments 
1
. Start the engine and set Lift Control Lever to 
“UP” and raise the mower to maximum height. 
Turn Lowering Speed Control 
fully 
clockwise to 
lock 
lift arms in up position. Leave Lift Control 
Lever in 
“UP” position. Stop engine, set brake 
and remove keys. 
Make sure to turn Lowering 
Speed Control fully clockwise to lock hydrau- 
lic system 
before attaching mower deck 
hook. 
This prevents the mower deck from 
descending and causing injury to feet or 
hands. 
2. Pull linchpin holding mower hook to mower 
hook bracket. Turn mower hook in adjusting pin 
so 
that it 
is long enough to reach projecting 
lockup pin on bracket attached to tractor frame 
as 
illustrated. Adjust the mower hook so that it 
fits TIGHTLY over the projecting lockup pin on 
tractor. This 
will 
minimize the backlash on the 
lockup pin when it supports the mower. 
3. 
Slip mower hook over lockup pin, and secure 
with washer 
and 
linchpin removed from mower 
hook bracket. Insert linchpin from front to back 
to lock properly.
