SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION
3-- 111
When not in use, the hook or clevis drawbar may be
stored in the bracket (1), attached to the rear axle.
Ensure the clamp screw (2), is fully tightened to
retain the drawbar in the bracket.
192
Extendible Pick--Up Hitch (where fitted)
The extendible pick--up hitch can be hydraulically
extended to aid visibility when attaching towed
equipment.
Operated through one of the rear remote valves, the
hitch is extended or retracted using the remote valve
lever . The hoses should be connected in such a way
that moving the remote valve lever to E (Extend) will
extend the hitch, moving the lever to R (Retract) will
retract the hitch.
NOTE: The illustration shows hitch operation
through remote valve number I, however, it may be
operated using an alternative valve where required.
Lower the hitch until it is clear of the locking latches
and then extend the hook or clevis rearwards by
moving the remote valve lever to (E). With the
drawbar extended continue to lower the hitch until it
is just above the ground.
193
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 until the
implement drawbar is just clear of the ground.
Fully retract the pick--up hitch by moving the remote
valve lever to (R). To assist in retracting the hitch
release the tractor brakes to allow movement of the
tractor towards the implement. Re--apply the
handbrake before leaving the tractor seat.
With the hitch in the fully retracted position raise it
slowly until an audible click indicates the locking
latches (1) have engaged the cross tubes (3).
