Load Pins
Install the load pins in the lower link arms at the
pivot point on the machine, making sure the
center section between the grooves is inside the
lower link arms. Follow the instructions from
Carraro Drivetech for the hitch linkages. The
outer sections of the load pin should align with
the mounting brackets on the machine. Improper Grooves
installation will produce faulty readings, which will
result in poor system operation. The pin bracket
ensures proper alignment when installed as
shown.

Never hit wired end of pins. Hitting the pins

can result in permanent damage.

Hitch Valve
The hitch valve is mounted on the
Pump
transmission near the rear of the machine.
The hitch is oriented with the pump to the
front, tank to the left, coils to the right, and
workport to the rear when viewed from the
rear. The manual lower is a screw under Front
the specified plug. Connect pump port Coil 1
(M27 X 2 metric o-ring port). See figures
below for clarification. Tank

Controller
Mount the controller inside the cab within reach of the operator. Install the controller on a flat surface and
torque the mounting screws to 2.3Nm (20 in-lbs). The Red (Switched +12VDC - Ignition), Black (Ground),
and Yellow (+12VDC Alternator Signal) connect to the corresponding places on the tractor as shown in
“Wire Harness Connection” on page 9. Plug in the 12 pin connector before the 4 pin connector. The
Alternator signal indicates that the engine is running. Alternator voltage below 10VDC will prevent the hitch
from operating.

Wiring Harness
The wiring harness may be placed among the overall wiring of the machine. The wiring harness is used to
connect the components of the HUSCO Hitch System. Page 8 shows a connection diagram of the wiring
harness along with a schematic of the wiring harness for creating custom harnesses on page 10.

For HUSCO Supplied Wire Harness Assembly

 Switched supply power should include a 10 Amp Fuse.
 Protect exposed wire by looming together or using equivalent/better protection.
 Avoid mounting near pinch points or other areas that may cause wear with movement.
 When connecting the 12 pin and 4 pin Deutsch connectors to the controller, always connect the 12
pin connector first and then the 4 pin connector.

Remote Switches
The remote switches allow the operator to actuate the hitch valve from outside the tractor cab. Mount the
remote switches on the fender of the machine above the wheel or where the operator can operate the switch
without being trapped between the machine and the implement as it is raised and lowered.

Position Sensor – Installed by Carraro

The position sensor is mounted to the rock shaft of the 3 point system. This ensures proper readings as the
hitch is run through its cycle. Each position sensor is capable of reading 0.5 to 4.5 volts DC. The sensor
should be oriented so that the electrical plug is pointed towards the front of the tractor. This ensures the
electrical wires will not be in the way of implement operations.

Initial Calibration
Initial calibration is required to determine the mechanical limits of the
system as well as determine the valve specific parameters such as
threshold current for raise and lower. Calibration is accomplished
through a routine programmed into the controller. Calibration must be
repeated if any of the system’s electronic or mechanical components are
replaced or if the mechanical stops change.

Pre-check
 Confirm that all system components are properly installed with all
connectors fully connected.
 Confirm wiring is routed away from pinch points and wear points.
 Confirm a drip loop is included near exposed electrical
connectors.
 Before starting the calibration procedure, please ensure the Engine RPM is set to a level sufficient
to meet the desired cycle times and that the oil temperature is at or above 50 Deg C.
 Ensure work port pressure is between 20 BAR and 30 BAR or high enough to achieve the required
lower rate.
 Ensure that hitch arms can lower to their lower mechanical stops without any part touching the
ground.
 Go to the measurements page by pressing the menu button and navigating to Diagnostics->
Measurements. Position sensor voltage should be between 0.5 VDC and 4.5 VDC. Draft sensor
voltage should be near 2.5 VDC without load applied and between 0.5 VDC and 4.5 VDC in normal
operation. Both ignition and alternator voltages should be above 10 VDC.

Calibration
1. Navigate to Diagnostics->Calibrate System and press enter to
start calibration. Note: The rocker switch must be in the neutral
position for calibration to run.
2. If two load pins are sensed and the proper load is applied, the
T10 transmission model will be selected automatically.
3. Otherwise the transmission select screen will be shown. Pick
the appropriate transmission from the list.
4. Calibration is complete when the controller reverts to the locked state.
5. Confirm proper operation by raising and lowering hitch and operating the remote switch if present.

Service Mode
When a controller is new, it defaults into service mode. Service mode is shown by a wrench symbol in the
upper right corner. New controllers also give an error because the system needs to be calibrated. This
error is shown both on the alerts screen and as a diamond shaped icon in the upper right corner.

Entering Service Mode

After the controller has been calibrated and has been power cycled, the controller will go out of service
mode. If the system needs to be recalibrated, enter service mode by holding the menu and enter keys for 5
seconds. The wrench symbol should now be flashing in the upper right corner. Service mode is exited by
power cycling the controller.

Reset To Defaults
The controller allows the saving of one previous
calibration. The initial calibration is saved as the Factory
Calibration after the first successful System Calibration.
The “Reset To Defaults” menu option restores the valve
calibrations to those generated in the Factory during the
first System Calibration. This restores the default user
parameters, including a reset of the EZ-Select
parameters.

Replace Factory Calibration

Factory calibrations are automatically stored during the
first successful calibration. When “Reset To Defaults” is
selected, these calibrations are restored. If parts need
to be replaced and a new calibration is run, this menu
option allows you to store the current calibrations as the
Factory Calibration; making them available when the
user selects “Reset To Defaults”. This menu option is
not available if the tractor has not been successfully
calibrated.
