Attention!
1. Never try to use towing device to
operate half-trailers and one-axle
trailers.
2. When towing trailers always use safety
chains.

with towing device installed on the tractor.
The towing device is fixed to the tractor
by means of two pins.
The tractor as dispatched from the
manufacturer is provided with towing
device fixed only with upper pin (transport

Rearrange upper tie-rod (2) into the
upper shackle opening;
•
Keeping the device in upper position,
pull out lower pin;
Lower the device , align openings in the
arm and shackle, and insert lower pin.
The towing device can be installed in
two positions:
•
lower — when tractor operates
with trailers that don’t require rear
PTO drive end;
•
upper — when tractor operates with
trailers that require active tools drive
from rear PTO drive end(in this case
turn the towing device by 180°).
When tractor is hitched to a trailer, grip (4)
serves as a guide for trailer beam hinge.
To hinge the trailer pull the tractor back. As
a result the beam hinge presses and sinks
pin (5), and comes in the mouth of a hook.
Automatic hitching takes place. To
uncouple the trailer pull handle (3) and
take off beam hinge from the hook.
