Before connecting the P.T.O.shaft, make sure that the diameter of the connecting pins is the same diameter as the holes onthe tractor’s lower link arms. Also make sure that the snap locks are in place and that the tractor’swheels do not touch the sprayer when turning. This hitch type permits the greatest turning anglesand requires a P.T.O. shaft with CV joint on the sprayer side. The length of the drawbar is adjust-able (see "Adjusting the drawbar length", page 13).There are two types of drawbars available for the HARDI ® MERCURY sprayer: the swivel drawbar,and the turnable hitch drawbar.Swivel drawbar (standard)The swivel drawbar is attached close to the body of the tractor. Before connecting the P.T.O. shaft,make sure that the drawbar is firmly attached and that the tractor’s wheels do not touch the sprayerwhen turning.A P.T.O. shaft with CV (Constant Velocity) joint is needed on the tractor’s side.
