IH 1300 Sickle Mower

I just bought an IH 1300 sickle mower that has the 15 link chain set up to raise the cutter bar when lifting the mower instead of the cable and pulley set up. The operators manual I have only shows the cable set up. The parts catalog has both. Could anyone here tell me how the 15 link chain is supposed to be set up when attaching the mower to the tractor 3 point hitch? Thank you in advance.
 
The 1300 I had didn't have a cable either. It had a chain and the chain went to an arm assembly with a roller on it that contacted the bottom of the 3pt arm on the left side. When you raised the 3pt, the angle of the 3pt arm pushed down on the arm assembly and lifted the cutter bar. On ours, the cast mount for this broke and we replaced it with a hydraulic cylinder to lift the bar separately.
