SECTION 2 - OPERATION

3-POINT HITCH OPERATION
NOTE: See “3-Point Hitch Controls” earlier in
this section for an explanation of the function
of the controls.
WARNING: DO NOT SET THE ROTARY
DEPTH CONTROL KNOB TO THE FLOAT
POSITION WHEN IN THE AUTOMATIC MODE
UNLESS THE IMPLEMENT WEIGHT IS ON
THE GROUND. IF THE KNOB IS SET IN THE
FLOAT POSITION WITH THE IMPLEMENT
RAISED, IT WILL DROP QUICKLY, POSSIBLY
CAUSING DAMAGE.
1. Start the tractor. The hitch will be in the
manual mode.
2. Raise the hitch fully, using the manual
raise/lower switch.
3. Set the rotary lowering rate control knob, 1, to
the fully counterclockwise position. Press
and hold the manual raise/lower switch, 2, in
the lower position. Slowly turn the lowering
rate control knob clockwise to set the rate of
lowering for the implement. Release the
manual raise/lower switch. Repeat this
procedure until the desired rate of lowering is
reached.
4. Set the raise rate of the implement using the
flow control on the 3-point hitch section of the
implement valve. (See “3-Point Hitch
Controls” earlier in this section.)
NOTE: The lowering and raise rate of the
implement has to be set for each
implement of different weight.
WARNING: ONLY ADJUST THE RAISE
RATE WHEN THE 3-POINT HITCH
CONTROLS ARE IN NEUTRAL AND THE
TRACTOR IS SHUT OFF. ENGAGE THE
ARTICULATION LOCK WHEN WORKING
IN THE ARTICULATION AREA.
