2.9.1 CARRIED IMPLEMENTS

Connect carried implement to tractor's three-point hitch and secure it with pins. Implement and
tractor must be at the same height to connect them with cardan shaft.

Always make sure of tractor stability, when connecting carried implement. For this purpose,
instructions for use include calculation formulas to determine suitability.

Familiarize yourself with proper use of carried implement before using it on the tractor. For this
purpose, read its instructions for use and maintenance.
2.9.2 TOWED IMPLEMENTS

Connect towed implement to tractor's towing hook.

Do not connect towed implement to tractor's three-point hitch system, as it is intended only for
carried implements. Otherwise, you risk tractor roll-over.

You can tow implements on the tractor without brakes or implements fitted with mechanical
brakes. When driving with towed implements without brakes, especially when stopping, consider
total weight of the tractor and towed implement or load, because you can very easily lose control
of the tractor.

When leaving the tractor with connected towed implement, repeat procedure from chapter
"STOPPING THE TRACTOR UNDER SAFE CONDITIONS", and, in case of slope, always
install safety wedges under the wheels of tractor or trailer.
2.9.3 CARDAN SHAFT
Drive elements can cause serious accidents, therefore, heed to the following instructions:

For driving elements on the implement (pump, fan countershaft etc.) use cardan shaft, which is
equal to defined shaft for this implement according to size and construction and is fitted with
safety cover.

Before first use, check cardan shaft to make sure that its length is not too short or too long, so that
it does not come off or gets stuck during start.

First, connect the cardan shaft to the implement and then to tractor's drive shaft (PTO).

When fitting the cardan shaft, make sure that the safety pin is locked into place. Push and pull the
cardan shaft forwards and backwards, until the safety pin locks into place.

Connect the implement to the tractor only when the drive shaft (PTO) is disengaged.

Connect and disconnect the cardan shaft only when the engine is off and ignition key removed
from its switch.

Before engaging the drive shaft (PTO), check number of revolutions and make sure that there are
no people or animals in the danger area.

Do not engage the tractor's drive shaft (PTO) for any reason and check that the angle difference on
cardan joints is not too great.

Outlet drive shaft (PTO) of the tractor can be manually turned when installing the cardan shaft,
when the engine is off and the cardan shaft is disengaged.

Rotating shafts without protection are very dangerous!
WARNING: Do not allow unauthorized persons to be between the tractor
and implement, when it is operating or when you are connecting or
disconnecting the implement.
