WARNING
Check the decoupling ropes of the quick coupling
The decoupling ropes must never be tense and must provide
sufficient freedom for movement, even with the power lift in the
lowest position as it could otherwise accidentally Disengage the
quick coupling.
Accidental Disengaging could cause damage to the machine and
may lead to personal injury.
Start the tractor again.
Reverse carefully so that the catch hooks of the lower links are
exactly under the ball bearings.
Open the quick coupling of the catch hooks with the release
ropes.
Engage the power lift until the ball bearings are correctly
located in the catch hooks and close the quick coupling.
Check if the catch hooks have locked correctly by lowering the
power lift carefully.
Turn the top link to the appropriate length and secure if
possible.
Open the quick coupling of the catch hook with the release
rope.
Let the catch hook fall over the ball bearing at the top and close
the quick coupling.
Check if the catch hook is correctly secured by pushing and
pulling it.
\
WARNING
Always check the machine after connection and set it horizontally
if required.
Lift the spreader until it is lifted from the ground or ramp.
Switch the tractor off, remove the key from the ignition and
engage the parking brake of the tractor.
Check the locking system of the catch hooks of the lower links
and the top link.
Make sure that the electric cables and hydraulic hoses do not
get jammed. Lead them or tie them up in order to prevent
dangerous situations. Make sure that there is sufficient space
for movement when lifting or lowering the machine.
Adjust the machine so that it is level with the lift rod adjustment.
Turn the top link until the machine is standing horizontally.
Lock the top link when that is possible.
