Adjustable top link (3rd point)
Theadjustabletoplink(1)isconnectedtothetractor
throughabearingwithtwoholes(2).Theconnection
holeshouldbeselectedaccordingtothereactiontothe
draftcontrol.
Connectiontothetopholegivesalowersensitivity,to
thebottomholeahighersensitivitytothehitchdraft
control.
Thelengthofthelinkisvariedsothattheangleofthe
implementcanberegulatedinrelationtotheground.
Duringwork,thetoplinkshouldgoslightlydown
towardthetractor,whenthelowerlinksareparallelto
theground.
Forworksindraftcontrolmode,rememberthatitis
bettertohitchtheimplementinthetopholeifthe
carriedloadisparticularlyheavy.Thiswayagreater
uniformityofworkisachieved.
Onrequest,theadjustabletoplinkisavailablewitha
hydraulicdevice(1)toadjustthelengthofthelinkfrom
thedrivingplaceduringwork.
Thetoplinkhastwoholesforhitchingtheimplementand
adjustingitsslant.
Hitching the implement
1 - Settheliftcontrolsinpositioncontrolmode..
2 - Allowthethreepointlinkagetodescend.
3-Adjustthetoplinkstohavemaximumsideplay.
4 - Backupthetractor.
5 - Connectthecouplingbaroftheimplementtothe
ball-endsofthelowerlinksandlockitinplacewith
thesafetypins.
6 - Adjustthelengthofthetoplinkstogivetheimple-
mentfreedomofsidewaysmovementorlockitin
placeaccordingtothetypeofworkrequired.
Releasing the implement
1 - Lowertheimplementcompletelytotheground.
2 - Shortenthesidestabilizerstogivemaximumplay
tothelowerhitchinglinks.
3 - Removethesafetypinsandreleasethecoupling
bar.
