the tractor hitch.
When hitching up the wagon, proceed as follows:
• Connect the electrical and hydraulic connections
(see 3.4.1 / 3.4.2) and start up.
• If necessary, adjust the height of the trailer coupling
to the tractor hitch using the "articulated tow-bar UP/

• Slightly raise the articulated tow-bar in order to
relieve the stabilising foot (1).
• Retract the stabilising foot (1) and secure.

• Arrange the cable connections between the tractor and the short-cut loading wagon so
that they are not under tension when the vehicles are turning or when the tow bar is being
used and so that they do not come into contact with the wheels of the tractor.
