Adjusting the height of the upper drawbar

CAUTION
Risk of injury due to high net weight of the drawbar
Use a crane or suitable lifting gear to lift and lower the drawbar.
Use slings with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Use supporting elements to support the drawbar.
  1. Make adjustments to the drawbar height when the hydraulic cylinder is half extended.
  2. Secure the drawbar with a crane or suitable lifting gear.
  1. Pull out the linch pin 1 on the pin 2.
  2. Pull out the safety clip 3 from the pin.
  3. Secure the pin with a linch pin.
CAUTION
Risk of crushing when adjusting the drawbar
When lifting and lowering the drawbar, never reach between the hydraulic cylinder and the hole pattern mount.
  1. Pull out the pin 1.
  2. Lift or lower the drawbar to the required height.
  3. Fix the position of the hydraulic cylinder with the pin in the hole pattern 2.
  1. Slide the safety clip 1 onto the pin.
  2. Secure the pin with a linch pin 2.
  3. Remove the crane or lifting gear.
  1. Check the slope of the drawbar eye.

The drawbar eye must be set with an upwards slope of 0° - 10°.

  1. If the slope of the drawbar eye needs to be adjusted:

    Remove the bolt 1.
  2. Unscrew the bolt 2.
  3. Set the drawbar eye to the required slope using the hole pattern 3 and fix with the bolt 2.

  4. If the required slope cannot be achieved:

    Install the drawbar eye rotated by 180°.

The holes 4 are then facing down.

  1. Tighten the bolts with 210Nm.
