Adjusting Hitch Side Sway

LV13909-UN-10FEB10

Sway Chains

H - Stabilizer Bracket

I - Threaded Link

J - Jam Nut

NOTE: Check implement operator's manual for instruction on whether to allow side sway.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT shorten chains so short that they do not allow hitch to be raised completely. If chain prevents hitch from raising, hydraulic relief valve will open, causing excessive oil heating, pump damage or equipment damage.

NOTE: Use spring or rubber strap to keep draft links out of rear tires when draft links are not attached to implement.

Implement side sway should be adjusted when the rockshaft is raised for transport by loosening the jam nut (J) on the threaded link (I) and turning the center rod to increase or decrease the length of the chain. Tighten jam nut again when adjusted.
