Electro-Hydraulic Pick-Up Hitch

This pick-up hitch can be operated via the rear hitch and switch (A).

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

3. Use switch (A) to extend the hitch hook fully (press the bottom part of the switch).

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

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

6. Use switch (A) to retract the hitch hook fully until it is fully locked (lever (B) returns to its starting position).

7. Lower the draft links.

8. Check that the hitch is locked correctly. It will not lower when the draft links are lowered and not extend when the switch is operated.

IMPORTANT: If the release lever is hard to operate or locking the hitch hook is not performed automatically (step 2 or step 6 above), have your John Deere dealer check the setting of the lift links or of the pick-up hitch hook.
