SECTION 3 - - FIELD OPERATION
Slider Frame with K 80 Ball
The tow hitch shown is equipped with a height
adjustable, 80 mm ball assembly.
Remove the securing clip (2) and lift the handle (1) to
the vertical position. Lifting the handle will rotate the
pins and disengage them from the notches in the
frame. Using both hands on the handle, lift or lower the
tow ball assembly (3) as required. When at the required
height, support the tow ball with one hand and lower the
handle to the horizontal position. The pins will rotate
and re-engage the notches in the frame. Lower the
P.T.O. guard.

NOTE: When setting the height of the tow ball, it
should be adjusted to the lowest position relative to
the correct operating height of the implement
drawbar.
To attach a trailer, remove the 'R' clip (5) and pull out
the locking pin (4). This will allow the security latch
to pivot forwards toward the tractor. When the
implement drawbar has been securely attached,
replace the locking pin so it passes through the
security latch and re--insert the 'R' clip.
NOTE: The static downward load on the tow ball
must not exceed 3000 kg (6600 lb.) or the rear tyre
load capacity, whichever is lower. (See Tyre
Pressures and Permissible Loads at the end of
Section 3).
