Figure 25. Top Link and Saf-T-Lok Hitch Installation
IMPORTANT
■ There may be more than one hole provided in
tractor top link attachment bracket; select the hole
that most evenly distributes the load between top
link bracket and its mounting bolts. See Figure 25.
Note that the maximum width between tractor top link
attachment plates must not exceed 2-1/2". This is to
prevent excessive bending loads on the top link pin.
Pin must be located in one of the positions shown.
„ If tractor is equipped with draft sensing control,
set control to “HEAVY” (minimum sensitivity) posi-
tion.
On tractors with draft control select hole closest to sup-
porting point of floating link to mount top link.
Use boom cylinder control to position backhoe main
frame vertically by extending or retracting cylinder as
required.
Figure 26. Saf-T-Lok Adjustment
With backhoe main frame vertical, refer to Figure 26,
align double and single top link bars and bolt together
using widest spread between bolts as possible. It may
be necessary to move main frame slightly off vertical
plane to align holes of top link.
Mount Saf-T-Lok diagonal bars to hole in top link bar as
close to tractor as possible; do not mount further than
6-3/4" away from tractor. Cut end of Saf-T-Lok diagonal
bars off to obtain mounting space if necessary. Place
two spacer washers between double top link bar when
mounting Saf-T-Lok diagonal bars.
Check distance from center of boom pivot pin and
ground to be sure there is from 11" to 14" clearance.
Check that console is nearly vertical with the ground.
