C. INSTALLATION OF TONGUE ASSEMBLY
1. The tongue can be installed either on the left or right carrier arm assembly depending on how
the tow-behind mower will be towed. See figure 5. Secure the hitch pivot on the chosen
carrier arm assembly with the 1/2” x 3-1/2” hex head bolt, lock washer, and nut provided.
2. Install the tongue into the hitch pivot and secure by placing the provided 5/16” wire lock pins on
each side of the hitch pivot.
Note: To help prevent any unwanted pin removal caused by oncoming debris install the 5/16”
wire lock pins with the wire lock section back from the direction of travel. See Figure 6.
