5.7.3 Hitching up the drawbar hitch
WARNING
There is a risk of injury to exposed persons from crushing,
entanglement and impact if the machine accidentally detaches
from the tractor!
• Check that the link device on your tractor is approved for
coupling with the machine towing device.
Observe the chapter on "Requirements for the operation of
tractors with rigid drawbar trailers", page 122.
• Couple and secure the machine to the tractor according to
regulations.
• Use hitching systems that have never been damaged or bent.
WARNING
There is a risk of exposed persons being crushed and struck, if
they go between the tractor and the machine as the tractor
approaches it!
Order everyone out of the danger area between the tractor and
machine before backing up to the machine.
Those helpers present may only guide in the driver from a position
alongside the vehicles but not move over between the vehicles until
they are at a standstill.
5.7.3.1 Bolt coupling
1. Secure the machine against rolling away.
2. Prepare to couple up:
• Remove the coupling bolt (non-automatic bolt coupling).
• Open the hitch coupling, i.e. it must be ready for coupling
(automatic bolt coupling).
3. Order everyone out of the danger area between the tractor and
machine before backing up to the machine.
4. Reversing the tractor:
• so that tractor and machine can hitch up via the coupling
bolt (non-automatic bolt coupling).
• until the bolt coupling locks into the hitch ring of the
drawbar (automatic bolt coupling).
5. Secure the tractor against accidental starting and rolling.
6. After coupling up, check that the connection is secure:
• Secure the inserted coupling bolt by positive locking (non-
automatic bolt coupling).
• Ensure that the automatic bolt coupling is locked (control
pin, end position of operating lever etc.).
7. Connect the supply lines.
8. Raise the support stand into transport position.
9. Release the parking brake of the machine.
