Hitching
Follow instructions for hitching to the letter:
•
when maneuvering, select the tractor’s lowest possible forward
speed,
•
the type of tractor hitch should be adapted to suit the machine’s
hitch,
•
when coupling, position the tractor’s hydraulic controls such that
the hitch does not move during handling,
•
the hitch must be locked and should not come detached by itself in
the lower position.
The weight distribution is altered when the machine is hitched. The
maximum load per vehicle axle (see manufacturer’s notice) should not
be exceeded. If there is insufficient loading on the front axle, extra
weights must be installed, so that control over the vehicle’s steering is
retained.
When hitching or unhitching the tool, put any support equipment
provided in place to prevent the machine from becoming unbalanced.

HAZARD
Never stand between the machine and the tractor during
maneuvers.
No one should stand between the tractor and the machine when
maneuvering the tractor or during lifting operations. This could
cause serious injury or even death.
