5.26
Position of trailer drawbar eye depends on the type of agricultural tractor hitch. If possible, we
recommend adjusting the tractor hitch so that the platform of the trailer connected to the
tractor is positioned parallel to the ground. If the tractor hitch can not be adjusted, adjust
position of trailer drawbar eye with regard to the drawbar faceplate (2) – Figure (5.11).
EXTENT OF ACTIVITY
Immobilise trailer with parking brake.
Place wheel chocks under trailer wheels.
Unscrew drawbar eye (1) and remove from faceplate (2).
Set the drawbar eye in its new position and tighten with bolts (3) using
appropriate torque.
The faceplate design (2) allows 4 possible drawbar eye positions,
Figure (5.11).
Drawbar eye tightness should be checked according to the schedule defined
by the Manufacturer.
Drawbar eye tightness should be checked simultaneously with wheel nut tightness checking.
Tightening torque should amount to 240 Nm. Nuts should be tightened gradually diagonally,
using torque spanner.
Bolts and nuts should be in good technical condition. Corroded parts or those with damaged
threads should be replaced.
:
Checking drawbar eye tightness:
•
after first use,
•
after first travel with load,
•
after 6 months of trailer use.
In the event of intensive use, drawbar eye tightness should be checked at least every 100
kilometres.
