Top and Lower Links Adjustment
The top and lower links must be adjusted
correctly so that the implement can work at the
required depth and that the lower links are free to
move up and down with the shape of the ground.
NOTE: Make sure tyre pressures, wheel
equipment and blasting are correct before
making hitch adjustments.
IMPORTANT: After making any adjustments,
carefully raise the implement to make sure
there is clearance between the tractor and
implement.
NOTE: All photographs have been taken using
a European specification Tractor. The same
procedure applies for all market areas except
where stated.

adjusted correctly. See the implement Operators
Manual for the correct length.
