SECTION 2 - OPERATION
2-102
SWAY BLOCKS
The sway blocks, 1, control lower link side movement
in both the transport and operating position to
prevent the equipment swaying from side to side.
This is especially important when operating on
slopes near fences, walls or ditches.
The sway blocks can be mounted in a rigid or sway
position.
Rigid Position
To prevent side movement of the equipment in both
the operating and transport positions, rotate the
sway blocks, 1, to the forward position and secure in
the forward (rigid position) hole. Install the pins, 2,
and the clips, 3.
NOTE: The pin must be installed so the clip is on the
inside of the drawbar support.
154
Swing Position
When it is desirable to have side movement of the
equipment in the operating position, but remain rigid
in the transport position, rotate the sway blocks, 1,
rearward and secure them. Install pins, 2, and clips,
3, in the rear (swing position) hole.
NOTE: The pin must be installed so the clip is on the
inside of the drawbar support.
IMPORTANT: When setting the sway blocks to
provide side-to-side movement, be sure that there is
no possibility of the rear tires contacting the sway
blocks, lower links, or implement.
155
GUIDE BLOCKS, SPACERS AND SHIMS
The guide blocks and spacers can be positioned so
the 3-point hitch will accept category II, category III
N or category III implements.
Category II or Category III N Position
Install the guide blocks, 1, on the inside of the lower
links. Add shims, 2, if required.
