   Extension Limit Groove

   A - Locking Clip

   B - Center Link Clockwise Rotation

   C - Center Link Counterclockwise Rotation

   Lower implement to take weight off hitch and adjust center link to level implement front-to-rear.

   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.

   NOTE: On later model tractors make sure the center link does not unscrew past the extension limit groove cut into threads as shown in photo.

   1. Unlatch locking clip (A). Rotate center link body:

      • CLOCKWISE (B) to lengthen center link.
      • COUNTERCLOCKWISE (C) to shorten center link.
      
      

   2. Latch locking clip.

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

   • Right lift link, center threaded section measures 316 mm (12-7/16 in.) long: Adjust the left lift link to 550 mm (21-5/8 in.) from pin-to-pin (lateral float locked out).
   • Right lift link, center threaded section measures 266 mm (10-1/2 in.) long: Shorten the left lift link to 450 mm (17-7/16 in.).
   
   

   To change the left lift link length:

   1. Remove upper lift link pin. Rotate the upper end assembly:

      • CLOCKWISE to shorten.
      • COUNTERCLOCKWISE to lengthen.
      
      

   2. Install upper pin and locking pin.
