OPERATION
Hitching the BH1020 Bridge Hitch
The BH1020 is designed to closely link a pulverizer with
another implement. Proper hitching to the towing
implement requires a hitch built to safely tow the Bridge
Hitch on the road and in the field. A 2-5/16 Hitch Ball is
required.
The unhitched BH1020 and Pulverizer should have the
parking stand and roller on the ground. The wheels and
hydraulic lift will be used to control the gooseneck couple.
Back the towing implement under the gooseneck coupler,
hook-up the hydraulic hoses. It may be necessary to
raise the gooseneck couple by actuating the hydraulic
circuit. Use caution and slowly adjust gooseneck couple
height to allow for positioning over ball hitch. Lower
gooseneck couple onto ball. Latch gooseneck coupler,
attach safety chain, connect warning lamp harness plug.
If machine is to be transported on a roadway install
transport locks.
See Figure 3-3.
Unhitching/Parking Pulverizer with
BH1020 Bridge Hitch
NOTE
Be sure ground is level.
To prepare for unhitching, the towing implement needs to
be in Transport position with transport locks installed.
Lower Parking Stand by removing two hitch pins and
repositioning stand to a parking position. Use caution the
parking stand weighs approximately 50lbs.
See
Figure 3-4.
Uncouple gooseneck hitch and AG harness if equipped.
Slowly lower pulverizer until parking stand makes contact
with ground. At this point weight on gooseneck coupler
will be transferred to parking stand. Continue to lower
until there is enough clearance between ball and coupler.
Close ball valve to lock cylinder in position.
Uncouple Safety Chain and Hydraulic Hoses from towing
implement. Pull towing implement ahead, ensuring
pulverizer has clearance and harness, hoses and safety
chain do not become tangled.
