2. Move the tractor up to the machine.
3. Couple the machine.
a) Machines with coupling on the lifting arms :
Couple the machine
Lock the catch hooks Tension the stabilisers to prevent lateral movement
Ensure that the level of the linkage is set so that the machine frame is in a horizontal position
Connect the hydraulic brake connector
b) Machines with hitch ring :
Adjust the height of the drawbar so that the machine can be coupled.
Couple the machine.
Insert the bolt and lock it.
Connect the hydraulic brake connector
c) Machines with ball coupling :
Lower the drawbar or cap onto the ball and raise the machine slightly.
Position the clamping frame.
Check and adjust the size of the gap between the clamping frame and the cap.
