Changing Attachments To prevent unexpected release of the attachment from the hitch, be sure to properly secure the hitch latch pins by verifying that the pin flags moved fully to the outside of the hitch. (Power-A-Tach® hitch.) Locking pins must be fully engaged through the holes in the attachment frame before using the attachment. The attachment could fall off if it is not locked on the hitch and cause serious injury or death.
