Pick-Up Hitch

This type of hitch can be operated via the rockshaft and one selective control valve.

1. Take hydraulic hoses out of holder (A) and connect them to one of the quick-couplers.

2. Raise draft links to maximum height and use SCV to retract the hitch hook fully.

3. Pull the release lever (B) and hold it until the hitch hook has moved from the stored position (lever remains in "open" position).

4. Extend the hitch hook fully by actuating the selective control valve.

5. Lower draft links/hitch hook to desired height.

6. Raise draft links to engage hitch hook in trailer towing eye, then continue to raise the hitch fully.

7. Retract the hitch hook fully by means of selective control valve until it is fully locked (lever (B) returns to its starting position).

8. Lower the draft links.

9. Check that the hitch is completely locked. It will not lower when the draft links are lowered and not extend when the selective control valve is operated.

CAUTION: Before driving away, make sure the hitch is fully raised and locked in both horizontal and vertical positions.

With the hitch lowered, NEVER reach into the receiver opening (see arrow). Risk of injury!

Maximum permissible drawbar loads are stated in the "Specifications" section.
