ADJUSTING SWAY LINKS

Adjust sway links on lower draft arms of 3-point hitch

to minimize side-to-side sway to a maximum of 1

inch (25 mm) on each side.

1. Adjust the lower links inboard until they contact the

aerator mounting plates. This will reduce the stress on

the pins. If the tractor has sway chains instead of sway

links, it is recommended that washers be installed

between the lower link arm and lynch pin to reduce the

over hung load on the lift pins.

NOTE: Refer to tractor operator's manual for additional

installation and adjustment procedures.
