4.1 Adjusting the hitch
The hitch on the equipment is normally adjusted for a tractor drawbar that is 432 mm (17 in.) off the
ground (Figure 8, B).
If the difference between the height of the hitch ( Figure 8, A) and that of the tractor drawbar
(Figure 8, B) is greater than 50 mm (2 in.), you will need to adjust the height of the hitch.
NOTE: Take the measurements on a level surface when the trailer
is empty and unhitched.
