Rear Hitch - Operation

IMPORTANT: Changes to hitch position are immediate.

LX234779-UN-25NOV15

A - Depth Control

B - Switch to "Raise" Hitch

C - Switch to "Lower" Hitch

D - Raise-Limit Control Knob

The hitch is operated with depth control (A) and switches (B) and (C). The raise height is restricted with raise-limit control knob (D).

To prepare the hitch for operation, start the engine and either:

• move hitch control (A) to the position that corresponds to the position of draft links,
• move control lever (A) to one of the end positions, or
• press switches (B) or (C).

Pull control (A) towards “0” to raise implement
Push control (A) towards “9” to lower implement

With switches (B) and (C), the implement can be raised or lowered independently from control (A) (e.g. to turn around at end of field).

If switch (B) is pressed, the implement is raised until its position corresponds to the position of raise-limit control knob (D).

If switch (C) is pressed, the implement is lowered until its position corresponds to the position of the depth control (A).

To reach the operating depth faster in the compacted soil at the headland (quick raise/lower), press and hold switch (C). As soon as switch (C) is pressed, the set draft force is overridden. Once switch (C) is released, the implement returns to the values specified previously.

NOTE: The quick raise/lower function only works as long as the vehicle is in motion.

CAUTION: Always engage the hitch lock before driving under load!

CAUTION: Danger of accidents resulting in severe injury and property damage.

When the transport lock is NOT activated, implements might be lowered accidentally.

Load-change reactions might lead to critical driving situations.

When driving with raised implement and when not using the hitch, ALWAYS activate the transport lock / damping.

Hitch - Transport Lock Activated

To activate the transport lock of the hitch, move the depth control beyond 0 to the stop (padlock icon) into transport position (A). The hitch is now locked.
