Setup
The assembly steps of the preceding chapter must be
completed prior to setup.
Setup steps consist of:
1. Hitch to suitable tractor.
2. Connect hydraulics.
3. Bleed hydraulics.
4. Level drill.
5. Install any options not factory-installed.
Hitching
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and drill. Do not stand or place any part
of your body between machines being hitched. Stop tractor
engine and set park brake before installing hitch pins.
This drill can have positive and negative tongue weight,
which can work the hitch pin loose during transport. To avoid
serious injury or death due to a road accident, always use a
clevis hitch or clevis drawbar with a locking-style hitch pin.
Choose a drill-hitch option that is compatible with your
tractor drawbar.
Refer to Figure 22
The 3S-3000HD has three hitch options:
• a clevis hitch,
• a small-hole, single-strap hitch or;
• a large-hole, single-strap hitch.
Use the clevis hitch with tractors that have single-tang
drawbars. Use the single-strap hitch for tractors with cle-
vis drawbars. Always use a locking-style hitch pin sized
to match the holes in the hitch and drawbar.
