Hydraulic quickhitch – Easy Lock (option)
• Before putting this feature into operation, specific training must be
performed by authorized technical personnel and must be understood
by the operator.
• For safety reasons, the quickhitch must be operated with two control
elements. This avoids opening the quickhitch unintentionally during
work operation.
• For system-specific reasons, the hydraulic quickhitch opens and
closes with the functions “Stabilizer blade”, “Rotate upper carriage”
and “3rd control circuit (option)”.
• For safety reasons, only use the function “Raise stabilizer blade” to
open or close.
• There must be no dirt on the claws before hitching.
• For more information, see Easy Lock/Powertilt with Easy Lock
Operator’s Manual.
