4.8 ATTACHING/UNHOOKING
The Pro Grain Extractor uses a tractor for operation
and at times for moving or transporting. A truck can
be used for transporting from location to location.
4.8.1 TRACTOR
When attaching the machine to a tractor, follow this
procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
2. Make sure there is enough room and clearance
to safely back up to the machine.
3. While backing up, align the hitch and drawbar.
4. Be sure the drawbar dimension is set at 14
inches (358 mm) between the end of the tractor
PTO shaft and the center of the drawbar pin.
5. Stop tractor, set park brake, remove ignition
key and wait for all moving parts to stop before
dismounting.
6. Use a drawbar pin with provisions for a me-
chanical retainer. Install the retainer.
