11.1.4. Hydraulic and towing device
11.1.4.1. Trailer hitch
1. Instructions for operating
The trailer hitch is raised and lowered with the
hydraulic lift control lever (1). It locks automatically
in the raised position.
IMPORTANT: Before releasing the trailer hitch, lift
the lower links to the top position. Then the release
control (3) can be pulled and the hitch lowered.
WARNING: When using the trailer
make sure that the hitch latch is
locked.
When the hitch is lifted up and the hitch latch has
locked, lower the hitch a little so that the load is not
on the lifting links of the hitch.
WARNING: Single-axle trailers must
always be connected to the trailer
hitch.
WARNING: It is responsibility of the
tractor driver to make sure that at
least 20 % of the total weight is on
the front axle of the tractor.
Other limiting factors are loading of the tyres/tires
and axles
WARNING: When the hitch is loaded
it must always be lowered using the
hydraulic lift.
IMPORTANT: Only use drawbar eyes
which comply with the regulations and
are undamaged. When using other
than the allowed drawbar eyes the
guarantee/warranty lapses and
responsibility becomes invalid.
When the pins on the lifting links of the towing hook
are set into their holes (drawbar must be locked on
the upper position), the lift is locked in its
uppermost position. In this case the lift will not be
lowered if the lever is moved to the lowering
position. Using this locking system ensures safety
when you have to do adjustments with the lift up.
When the pins are not used, they are kept in the
holders (A) which are on the lifting link rods.
