Precision Clevis- C000-360; Equal Angle Hitch - Schulte FX-1800 Operator's Manual

PRECISION CLEVIS– C000-360
Adjust the opening of the precision clevis by
shimming the wear plate with the spacers. Remove
the two 5/8" bolts and lockwashers and stack the
spacers between the wear plate and the hitch block
until the opening measures less than 1/8" taller than
the drawbar. Replace unused spacers under the
hitch block and reinstall the lockwashers and bolts.
NEVER USE YOUR HANDS TO STEADY THE HITCH BLOCK WHILE THE TRACTOR IS
BEING BACKED TO THE HITCH
NEVER STAND BETWEEN THE TRACTOR AND THE ROTARY CUTTER WHILE THE
TRACTOR IS BEING BACKED TO THE HITCH

Equal Angle Hitch

The equal angle hitch is designed to fit ASABE CAT
II and CAT III drawbars.
Adjust the width of the hitch block spacer plates
using the provided shims. Remove the 1/2" bolts
and place the shims between the spacer plates and
hitch block to accommodate narrow drawbars.
Adjust the spacer plates so the hitch block fits snug
on the drawbar. 1/8" clearance is acceptable. When
the shims are not in use, place them to the outside
of the hitch block to prevent the 1/2" bolts from
projecting through the spacer plates.
Wind the jack to raise the hitch block to line up with
the tractor drawbar. A heavy screwdriver or steel
rod must be inserted through the holes in the side of
the swivel yoke to keep the hitch block level while
connecting to the tractor drawbar. DO NOT use
your hand to steady the hitch block.
