UNHITCHING
5.1
Hitching the implement to the
tractor
CAUTION:
Make sure that hitching the implement does not
result in:
- Overloading:
Observe the maximum permissible load at the
hitching points.
- Poor distribution of loads:
Ballast the tractor at the front (see 4.3).

Check the correspondence between the diameters of the ball
joints and of the pins.

Place the ball joints on the pins. Put the pins back onto the
implement, not forgetting the safety bolts.

joints.
-
Raise the implement about 5 cm above the ground and check
the positioning of the ball joint locking mechanism in the jaws.
-
Proceed with attachment of the top link.
CAUTION:
Before proceeding to connect the top link, make
sure the space between the implement yoke and
WKHORZHUDUPVRIWKHWUDFWRULVVXI¿FLHQWVRWKDW
there is no possibility of contact between the raised
position and the working position. A second check

is under actual working conditions.
IMPORTANT:
If the coupling head is not horizontal, adjust it with
the turnover cylinder. This will facilitate the hitching
procedure.
5.1.3
Releasing the latch
CAUTION:
A safety bolt will fail when raising the yoke if the
latch is forgotten.
IMPORTANT:
Never stand in front of or in the vicinity of this bolt
during hitching. The material ejected as a result of
bolt failure could cause serious injury.
