Use during work
- Select the hitch operating mode by means of the mode
selector (3).
Selector position
Action
A
Position control: When the implement
should be kept in a fixed position. Turn
the knob anti-clockwise.
B
Draft control: When the implement
works under the soil, e.g. a plough. Knob
turned clockwise.
Positions
intermediate
"Intermix" degrees.
Combining position control and draft
control; for use on variable soils or
with subsoilers, etc.
- Use the selector (6) to set a suitable descent speed for
the type of implement being used.
- Set the switch (1) to the working position (A).
- Turn the control knob (2) to obtain the correct working
depth/height.
Working with tillage implements
- If the implement pitches (makes large lifting and lower-
ing adjustments) in draft control mode, turn the mode
selector knob (3) anti-clockwise to introduce an element
of position control (Intermix).
The sensitivity of the electronic hitch to variations in
the traction force required in working conditions is
automatically controlled and thus the operator need
not intervene to make corrections.
Intermix/draft/position control ad-
justment
Turn the knob (3) to set the behaviour of the hitch during
work.
Turn the knob (3) to the (A) position to activate the
position control mode.Thanks to the position control
the implement can be kept in a constant position. The
value of the position is set by means of the hitch position
control knob:
• Position between 0 and 1 = lowest controlled position
• Position 10 = max. set position
Turn the knob (3) anticlockwise to the (B) position to
activate the draft control mode. The draft control requires
that the system keeps a constant draft on the implement.
The value of the draft is set by means of the hitch posi-
tion control knob:
• Position between 0 and 1= max. controlled draft
• Position 10 = minimum draft
Turn the knob (3) to any positions between (A) and (B)
to obtain the intermix mode. In the intermix mode there
is a mix of draft and position control.
• The nearer is the knob (1) to the (A) position, the greater
is the position control in comparison to draft.
• The nearer is the knob (1) to the (B) position, the greater
is the draft control in comparison to position.
Headland manoeuvres
- Raise the implement at the end of the field by setting
the switch (1) to Pos. C. The links lift to the height set on
the lift height limiter (7). Adjust the hitch height limiter
so that if a drive shaft is connected between the PTO
and the implement, it is not twisted into acute angles.
This will also avoid wasting time lifting the implement
to transport height.
- To re-engage the implement, simply turn the switch (1)
to the working position (A). The implement will lower
at the speed set with selector (7) until is reaches the
position selected with knob (2).
- To make the implement quickly re-engage the soil, press
the button (5).
