Why can you adjust the hitch point in 2 positions?

There are 2 coupling positions for the bumper, supplied as standard in the front position (1). If the front linkage is compact and fully raised, the bumper may touch the linkage arm. The coupling position must then be moved to the rearmost position (2). Loosen the M27 bolt (key 41), move the nut inside the rail and tighten again.
