OPERATION

•
Move the lift lever backward to lower the sleeve hitch.
•
To tow an implement that has a tow hitch, simply
remove three clevis pins and then remove the Sleeve
Hitch Lift Assembly from the Sleeve Hitch Frame
Assembly.
Attach an implement using the sleeve hitch pin.
Tighten the 5/8" x 2" stabilizer bolts against the
implement hitch and then tighten the jam nuts. See
Figure 5 on Page 5.
•
To remove the entire Sleeve Hitch attachment, remove
the 5/8" x 1-3/4" hex bolt and 5/8" nylock nut which
fasten the bottom of the sleeve hitch to the tractor
hitch, then lift the attachment off the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Some implements may require that the
stabilizer bolts not be tightened. Refer to your implement
owner's manual.

The sleeve hitch is assembled in the lowest position
by the assembly instructions. If the implement
attached to the sleeve hitch is not level front to back
during operation:

assembled in figure 1 to a position in the three
position slot that gives better levelling.
