4.1 Adjusting the coupler
The coupler on the equipment is normally adjusted for a tractor drawbar that is 432 mm (17 in.) off
the ground (Figure 9, B).
If the difference between the height of the coupler (Figure 9, A) and that of the tractor drawbar
(Figure 9, B) is greater than 50 mm (2 in.), you will need to adjust the height of the coupler.
NOTE:
Take the measurements on a level surface when the mixer
is empty and uncoupled.
