Installing Drawbar Hitch Adapter - MacDon R113 Assembly Instruction Manual

5.2 Installing Drawbar Hitch Adapter

The hitch adapter allows the drawbar to connect with the hitch casting.
IMPORTANT:
The hitch adapter is compatible with Class 2 and Class 3 hitches only. Class 4 hitches are too big. Do NOT attempt to modify
a Class 4 hitch or hitch adapter to make them fit together.
1. Remove hairpin (A) and pin (B).
2. If necessary, loosen four top jam nuts (C), and then loosen
four lower nuts (D) so that hitch adapter (E) will slide onto
tractor drawbar (F).
3. Align the hole in adapter (E) with the hole in drawbar (F)
and install pin (B). Secure with hairpin (A).
4. Gradually tighten four nuts (D) to 540 Nm (400 lbf·ft).
NOTE:
Ensure hardened washers and Class 10 nuts (supplied with
adapter) are used.
5. Tighten four jam nuts (C).
