Hitching the implement
Hitching
Remove the tractor's lower link
Remove the lower link from the tractor to ensure there is no contact
with the drawbar during use. The lower link can come into contact with
the drawbar when cornering. There is a danger of tipping. Personnel
may be injured or the implement may be damaged as a result.
Securing moving parts
Moving parts must be secured with lifting gear against sliding, folding
or swivelling. Personnel may be injured or the implement may be da-
maged as a result.
Before the implement is hitched, the drawbar eye must be set at the
right height for the tractor's drawhook. Proceed as follows:
> Position the tractor and the implement one behind the other on
firm, level ground.
> Keep a distance of approximately 15 cm between the drawbar eye
and the hitch.
Raising the
sustainer
The crank on the sustainer acts as a screw adjustment for the drawbar
height.
> Bring the drawbar to the desired height by turning the crank.
> Adjust the drawbar if necessary.

Checking the
working position
To ensure the crop is gathered correctly, the implement must be ali-
gned behind the tractor in the correct working position: The implement
must be horizontal in relation to the tractor or slightly tilted towards the
rear.
Use the horizontal line from the side doors as a guide.
> Check and adjust the working position.
