4. To attach the mower, place two 1” flatwashers (1)
positioned under top lip of tongue clevis and to
the top of drawbar. Add additional 1” flatwash-
ers (2) between the bottom of drawbar and bot-

diameter grade 5 or 8 bolt (3) through clevis and
drawbar and retain in position with a 1” locknut

6.2 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.

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 ore more links or end fittings are broken, stretched or
otherwise damaged or deformed. OPS-U-0039
