Adjustments to the mechanical drawbar :
Adjustments to the mechanical drawbar :
The setting of the drawbar enables a level body according to the coupling height,
giving a greater flexibility and a maximum weight transfer to the rear axle of the
tractor.
N.B : For the first commissioning, the dealer will take care of adjusting the drawbar.
PROCEDURE
. Carry out the adjustments on an empty vehicle.
. Operate on a firm, level ground.
. Make sure the parking brake (tractor and trailer) is engaged..
. Install the safety peg above the ring bolt of the tractor..
Put the machine on chocks with the help of a jack (lifting capacity: 5T) placed at
the front of the chassis.
Remove the setting pin of the drawbar (item B).
Position the drawbar so that the spreader is level when coupled to the tractor.
The position of the drawbar will be adjusted to the next higher hole. Thus the
spreader will be slightly nose up.
Replace the setting pin.
Remove the jack.
The top hole is used for large diameter wheels, the distance between each hole
being 7cm.
