PIVOTING DRAWBAR

Height (M) = 350 mm

Hinweis: Where the floor is uneven, reduce the measurement by 1 cm (M = 340 mm)
To allow pick-up to work perfectly, the height (M) of coupled trailer must be correctly set
(pick-up pivoting area).

Adjusting drawbar to tractor's towing coupler

- Park unloaded trailer on even ground and on
jockey wheel.
- Attach trailer coupler (A) to tractor so that
on towed vehicle adequate distance exists
between drive shaft and drawbar.
- Set height (M = 350 mm) from ground to centre
of feeler coupling point by adjusting jockey
wheel.
- Minor adjustments are carried out by unscrewing,
moving and rescrewing trailer coupling ring
(3).
Drawbar adjustment when equipped with adjusting spindle:
- Loosen lock-nuts (K).
- Twist turnbuckle barrel (V) correspondingly.
- Check height (M) of trailer coupled to tractor.
Observe following when equipped with hydraulic cylinder:
- Couple trailer to tractor.
- The hydraulic cylinder piston must be completely
inserted.
- Twist nut (51) until clamp frame (52) is at
rightangles (about 90°) to slip rod (G). The
clamp can then be raised.
A slot is located in the fork of the regulating
spindle.
- The fastening bolt (56) must make contact with
the inside of the slot.
- Loosen lock-nut (K) on the threaded spindle.
- By twisting the cylinder piston (50), screw the threaded
spindle in or out until the height (M) is achieved.
Slip rod (G) must be able to move in the casing during the
adjustment process (adjust with nut 51).
- Retighten lock-nut (K).
- Twist nut (51) until clamp frame (52) is at rightangles (90°)
to slip rod (G).
