SWINGING DRAWBARS

Safety rules

WARNING
Collision hazard!
During road transport, the drawbar must be locked in the center position, and the implement must be
centered behind the tractor.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Loss of control hazard!
Always attach or pull towed vehicles from the tractor drawbar.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Rear upset hazard!
Use the correct location on the tractor when attaching equipment. Always use the drawbar for trailed
equipment. Always use the three point hitch for mounted or semi-mounted equipment. Do not use
the hitch as a drawbar.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Avoid injury!
Follow ALL of the precautions listed below.
Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate injury.
The towing equipment should be selected on the basis of the type of trailer or implement to be towed and should
comply with current legislation.
• The ease of handling and driving safety of the tractor depend on correct towing adjustment.
• If the towing device is fitted high, the towing capacity is increased, but there is a risk that the tractor will tip back.
Therefore ensure that the trailer shaft is not at too great an upward angle.
• When using 4WD, the towing bracket should be in the lower position with the shaft almost horizontal.
• Avoid towing excessively heavy trailers or loads.
• Never start suddenly, as this also considerably increases the risk of tipping backwards.
• Always brake the trailer first and then the tractor.
