Hitch Settings and Adjustments

Transport Position

The top link and lower links should be placed in the
transport position when not in use. Raise the top link
(1) to the vertical position and secure by sliding the
adjuster handle extensions (2) into the slots in the
support (3).
Each lower link pivots about the pin (2). This pin
should not be removed unless it is required to
remove the lower links. To raise the lower link, extract
the pin (3) from the support assembly and raise the
link (1) to the vertical position, as shown. Re--insert
the pin through the support when the holes in the
lower link and support are correctly aligned. Before
operating the tractor ensure both pins are fully
secured using the lock pins.
To convert to the working position, remove the lock
pins, pull out the pin (5) and manually lower the lower
link down to the operating position, as shown.
Re--install the pin in one of the holes (4) or (6), as
required and secure.
When installed in the rear hole (5), the lower link will
be locked as a rigid unit. If the pin is installed in the
front hole (6), the lower link will be allowed to move
up and down freely (float) through a range of approx.
75 mm (3 in). Secure the pin using the lock pins.
Repeat on the other lower link, ensuring that both
lower links are set up the same, i.e., both are locked
as rigid units or both are allowed to float.
