Hitching the machine
General
Remove the tractor lower links
Remove the lower links of the tractor to avoid them touching the draw-
bar. During turning, the lower links of the tractor can touch the drawbar
and the machine can tip over. Personal or machine damages can oc-
cur.
The machine is ex works provided for hitching to the towing hook of
the tractor.
Before the machine can be hitched to the towing hook of the tractor,
the correct height of the hitch eye to the towing hook of the tractor
must be determined.
> Place both tractor and machine in line on a firm level, with a dis-
tance between the towing hook of the tractor and the hitch eye of
about 15 cm
If necessary, the drawbar can be turned upside down. Doing this, the
drawbar can be set for high or low attachment.
