Coupling the implement to the tractor
Adjust the length of the universal joint shaft to the tractor
(see section "Adjusting the universal joint shaft to the tractor")
before
initial
use
after fitting/removing the three-point hitch extension
when using a different implement type.
DANGER
For your own safety, always observe the fundamental rules when
handling universal joint shafts. If you identify any defects on a
universal joint shaft, the universal joint shaft must not be used.
1. Clean and grease the tractor PTO shaft and
the implement's gearbox input shaft.
2. Limit the lateral play of the tractor lower link,
to prevent the connected implement from
oscillating.
3. Fasten the implement-side universal joint
shaft half to the overload clutch on the
gearbox input shaft and secure.
Observe the operating manual from the
universal joint shaft manufacturer.
4. Interconnect the two halves of the universal
joint shaft.
5. Hook the universal joint shaft into the
bracket (Fig. 96/1).
Fig. 96
6. Instruct persons to get out of the danger
area between the tractor and the
implement.
7. Drive the tractor towards the implement,
leaving a clearance of approx. 25 cm.
The tractor lower links must be flush with
the lower hinging points of the implement.
8. Switch off the tractor PTO shaft, apply the
tractor parking brake, switch the tractor
engine off and remove the ignition key.
9. Fasten the universal joint shaft to the tractor
PTO shaft and secure (see operating
manual of the universal joint shaft
manufacturer).
10. Couple the supply lines (see section
"Overview – Supply lines between the
tractor and the implement", page 38) onto
the tractor.
