Leveling the Hitch

IMPORTANT: Do NOT attempt to extend center link beyond limits of locking clip or to raise 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.

2. Adjust center link to level implement front-to-rear.

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

• CLOCKWISE-Lengthen center link (Maximum length: 725 mm [28.5 in.])
• COUNTERCLOCKWISE-Shorten center link (Minimum length: 530 mm [20.9 in.])

b. Latch locking clip.

a. Lift locking handle (A) and turn:

• CLOCKWISE-Lower lift link
• COUNTERCLOCKWISE-Raise lift link

b. Lower handle and turn it to engage slot onto lower body to prevent change of adjustment during operation.

4. Adjust left-hand lift link to level implement side-to-side:

a. Remove locking pin and lower link pin (C). Rotate lower end assembly (D):

• CLOCKWISE-Shorten (raise) lift link
• COUNTERCLOCKWISE-Lengthen (lower) lift link

b. Install lower link pin and locking pin.

Adjust left and right-hand lift links to accommodate various tire sizes or implement heights. For greatest range of up and down hitch motion, set lift links so that when fully lowered, draft link balls are approximately 178 mm (7 in.) off the ground.
