! Safety Information As the manufacturer of your Outback Hitch Drawbar This operator’s manual provides instructions for the Implement Guidance System, we care about your safety. In safe operation and maintenance of the OutbackHitch. fact, this machine and its systems have been designed to Please read and understand this manual before operating provide maximum safety. Unfortunately, no machine the machine. design can prevent operator error or carelessness.
INSTALLATION 1. Tractor Preparation: Before attempting to install the Outback® Hitch, park the tractor on a smooth level floor with adequate clearance to work around the drawbar area. Remove any accessories installed on the tractor drawbar including the hammerstrap clevis and safety chain holder. If the tractor is equipped with a drop-style drawbar, remove the drawbar and flip it upside down. Reinstall the drawbar as shown. The Outback® Hitch requires a minimum mounting clearance of 14-1/4 in.
3. Mounting the Hitch: Using a forklift, floor jack, or chain hoist, position the Outback® Hitch under the tractor drawbar as shown. Notice that the hydraulic hoses to the left cylinder must route over the top of the tractor drawbar. Center the hitch directly under the tractor drawbar with the drawpin hole lined up over the center of the corresponding hitch mounting hole. E 4.
7. Move Hitch Drawbar Right: Start the tractor and enable the hitch hydraulic remote outlet. The coils on the hitch hydraulic control block have manual push button overrides. Using a small screwdriver or common nail, push the manual override at the center of the rear coil to move the hitch drawbar to the far right extent. Disable the hitch hydraulic remote outlet, and shut off the tractor. 8.
. Determine Tilt Sensor Location: The tilt sensor should be mounted directly onto the rear tractor frame in an area protected from mud and flying debris. The sensor must be oriented relative to the forward travel direction as shown on the sensor decal. Orient the sensor with the label up and the connector towards the rear. The sensor may require re-orientation onto the sensor bracket to accommodate mounting directly to the tractor frame. 12.
14. Exchange Power Cable: Install the Outback® S, using the instruction booklet provided. Do not use the power cable provided with it. Locate the Power/CAN cable in the Hitch package. It has two connectors and a cigarette lighter plug. Install the connector with two cables coming out into the S Power/CAN port as shown. Twist the connector firmly until it locks into place. Note: The Outback® Hitch may also be used in combination with the optional Outback® 360.
18. Install CAN Cable: Install the remaining Power/CAN connector (from either Step 14 or 15) into the upper CAN port on the Hitch console as shown. Twist connector firmly until it locks into place. For permanent installations, we recommend removal of the cigarette lighter plug and hard wiring the leads to a reliable 12-volt power supply. The red wire goes to positive and the black wire to negative. Note: Cigarette lighter sockets are notorious for intermittent power.
GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE CONTROLS LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS MODE RUN/HOLD CENTER S PRESENT INDICATOR HITCH POSITION INDICATORS HITCH POSITION INDICATORS: A series of 21 lights indicate the current hitch pin position relative to the center of the tractor. Each light represents approximately one inch of hitch pin offset. S PRESENT INDICATOR: This light indicates the presence of the Outback® S along with its GPS operational status. If the light is off, communication with the S cannot be established.
POWER UP SETUP 1. Power up both units: Turn on the power switches of the S and Hitch in any order. The S will boot up and begin acquiring a DPGS signal. The Hitch will establish communication with the S and wait for the DPGS signal to be acquired. Configuration of the Outback® Hitch is accomplished through the S, or 360, menu system. During power-up, the Hitch is detected, and an additional menu option is included to configure the Hitch for operation. To access the menu: Press the MENU button.
OPERATION The operation of the Outback® Hitch is quite simple. Turn it on, activate the tractor hydraulics, select the desired MODE, press RUN, and the rest is automatic. Note: As a safety feature, the tractor must be traveling faster than one mile per hour before the RUN button can enable active hitch control. Manual Mode: This mode allows the operator to position the hitch pin at any desired offset using the LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS.
MAINTENANCE Proper maintenance of the Outback® Hitch mechanical components will ensure years of dependable service and protect your investment. GREASE LOCATIONS Initial Installation: After the first few hours of operation, check the tightness of all Hitch mounting bolts and hardware. Substantial wear will occur to the Hitch and tractor drawbar if mounting bolts are not properly tensioned.
