3 General preparation for use
3.1 Special safety instructions
Put the operation device to the position where the
possibility of unintentional raising or lowering is
excluded, before attaching and removing implements at
the three-point linkage!
Special care should be taken when coupling/uncoupling
implements to/from the tractor!
Risk of crushing and cutting injuries in the vicinity of the
three-point linkage!
3.2 Preparations on the tractor
• The tractor lower link arms should
always be set so that the lifting points
for the lower link arms are always the
same distance from the ground. The
lower link arms should be fixed by
limiting chains or rods so that the
implement cannot swing to the side
during transport or when working.
