The right-hand lift rod is adjusted by means of a crank
handle on the levelling box. See Figures 18 & 19.
The levelling box as shown in Figure 19 is fitted on
tractors in territories where ROPS is also installed. In
all other territories, the levelling box as shown in Figure
18 is installed.
Turn the crank handle clockwise to shorten the lift rod
or turn anti-clockwise to lengthen the lift rod.
IMPORTANT :
When attaching mounted or semi-
mounted equipment to the three-point linkage or when
coupling trailed equipment to the drawbar, ensure that
there is adequate clearance between the implement and
the tractor. The clearance in the raised position should
be checked by raising the implement carefully in Position
Control. Check the swing clearance by performing a
series of left and right-hand turns with the tractor and
implement combination.
Ensure that the check chains are adjusted to prevent
damage to the tractor.
In some territories, a modified top link with lockable
handle is also provided. See figure 21.
Top Link
The top link length is adjusted by turning the sleeve by
means of a locking handle. See Figure 20. Most
equipment will operate at the correct depth/height if the
top link is set to a nominal 27 in. (685 mm) measured
between the centers of the attaching pins.
When transporting the tractor, hook the link plate over
the lug on the hydraulic lift rocker. See figure 20.

The locking handle should be turned away from the top
link to unlock the top link before adjusting it. The sleeve
can be adjusted by rotating it in clockwise or
anticlockwise direction with the help of the locking
handle itself. Always ensure that the top link is locked
after the adjustments are carried out.
When operating in Draft Control, draft signals are
transmitted via the top link and hydraulic lift rocker to
the control valve within the hydraulic system. The draft
signal transmitted may be varied by adjustment of the
lift rocker connections.
The lift rocker has two holes for attachment of the top
link. With the top link in the upper hole of the rocker, as
shown in Figure 21, the hydraulic system is more
sensitive to changes in draft loading and is the
recommended setting for light draft loads and equipment.
With the top link in the lower hole in the rocker, the
system is less sensitive to draft loadings and should
be used when operating with heavier equipment or for
hearvy draft loads.
