Auto Hitch Slide

The auto hitch mechanism ensures that the GreensPro remains safely connected
to the tow vehicle during transport; refer to the Operator's Manual. When
properly adjusted, the auto hitch lever must be allowed to reach its fully pressed
position without restriction from the auto hitch slide. Proper adjustment also
allows the slide to reach its stop when the lever is fully released. Check and
adjust the auto hitch mechanism as necessary, and after the hitch components
are repaired or replaced.
