Adjustment Of Drawbar Position - PRONAR T700 Operator's Manual

SECTION 5

5.11 ADJUSTMENT OF DRAWBAR POSITION

Location of the drawbar should be selected individually depending on the height of the hitch
on the tractor that will pull the trailer. If possible, we recommend adjusting the tractor hitch so
that the trailer drawbar is positioned horizontally while driving on a flat terrain.
If you need to adjust the drawbar perform this procedure:
Immobilise trailer with parking brake,
prevent the trailer from rolling by placing wedges under the wheels,
support the trailer on both sides of the drawbar under the front beam (2)
(location marked with an arrow) by means of supports of a suitable height and
strength.
support the drawbar underneath using a jack shaft,
