SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION
3--109
Position the tractor so that the hitch hook (2) is
beneath the eye of the implement drawbar and, using
the position control lever, raise the hitch slowly until
an audible click indicates the locking latches (1) have
engaged the cross tubes (3).
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the height limit control is
at the maximum height position. Failure to observe
this may result in the hitch failing to latch correctly.
Push the position control lever forward so that the
weight of the pick--up hitch (and attached implement)
is supported by the locking latches.

NOTE: The maximum static downward load on the
hitch hook (all types) must not exceed 3000 kg (6610
lb.)
When towing equipment exerting high static
downward forces, such as two-wheeled trailers, etc.,
always use the close-coupled drawbar position.
Alternatively, change to the hitch hook mode.
IMPORTANT: When supporting equipment on the
drawbar or pick-up hitch ensure that the total weight
on the rear axle does not exceed the maximum static
downward load or the rear tyre load capacity,
whichever is the lower (See Rear Tyre Pressures and
Loads at the end of Section 3).
