Leveling the Hitch

1. Lower implement to take weight off hitch.

2. Adjust center link to level implement front-to-rear. Unlatch locking clip (A). Rotate center link body clockwise (B) to lengthen center link or counterclockwise (C) to shorten it. Be sure to latch the locking clip.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to overextend center link beyond limits of locking clip or lift links past the stops. Link body threads could be damaged.

NOTE: Maximum adjustment range of the center link can only be obtained if the ends are positioned equally within the body when attached to an implement.

3. Adjust right-hand link to level implement side-to-side. Lift locking handle (A) and turn 1/4 turn to engage slot (B) onto roll-pin in the center portion of the lift link.

Turn crank handle (A) clockwise to raise draft link.

Turn crank handle (A) counterclockwise to lower draft link.

After adjustment, lift handle (A) and turn to engage slot (B) onto the lower body to prevent change of adjustment during operation.

4. The left-hand lift link is also adjustable in length to accommodate two different length right-hand lift link assemblies used, depending on tire size. The following adjustments will provide optimum hitch leveling:

If equipped with a right-hand lift link, center threaded section measures 316 mm (12-7/16 in.) long, adjust the left-hand lift link to 550 mm (21-5/8 in.) from pin to pin (lateral float locked out).

If equipped with a right-hand lift link, center threaded section measures 266 mm (10-1/2 in.) long, shorten the left-hand lift link to 450 mm (17-7/16 in.).

To change the left-hand lift link length, remove the upper lift link pin and rotate the upper end assembly clockwise to shorten or counterclockwise to lengthen, and then reinstall the upper pin and locking pin.
