Coupling and uncoupling the implement

Only connect and transport the implement with tractors suitable
for the task.

When coupling implements to the tractor's 3-point hydraulic
system, the mounting categories of the tractor and the
implement must always be compatible.

Connect the implement to the prescribed equipment in
accordance with the specifications.

When coupling implements to the front or the rear of the tractor,
the following may not be exceeded:
o the permissible total tractor weight

the permissible tractor axle loads

the permissible load-bearing capacities of the tractor tyres

Secure the tractor and the implement against unintentional
rolling away before coupling or uncoupling the implement.

It is forbidden for people to stand between the implement to be
coupled and the tractor while the tractor is approaching the
implement.
Any helpers may only act as guides standing next to the
vehicles, and may only move between the vehicles when both
are at a standstill.

Before the implement is connected to or disconnected from the
tractor's three-point hydraulic system, secure the operating lever
of the tractor hydraulic system so that unintentional raising or
lowering is impossible.

When coupling and uncoupling implements, move the support
equipment (if equipped) to the appropriate position (stability).

When actuating the support equipment, there is a danger of
injury from crushing and shearing points.

Be particularly careful when coupling the implement to the tractor
or uncoupling it from the tractor. There are crushing and shear
points in the area of the coupling points between the tractor and
the implement.

It is forbidden to stand between the tractor and the implement
when actuating the three-point hydraulic system.

Coupled supply lines:

must easily give way to all movements in bends without
tensioning, kinking or rubbing

may not chafe against other parts.

The release ropes for quick action couplings must hang loosely
and may not release themselves when lowered.

Also ensure that uncoupled implements are always parked in a
stable position.
