Hitching
Follow the hitching instructions exactly:
•
when handling, select the tractor’s lowest possible forward speed,
•
the type of tractor hitch should be adapted to suit the machine’s
hitch,
•
when hitching, position the tractor’s hydraulic controls such that the
hitch does not move during handling,
•
the hitch must be locked and should not become 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 information)
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.

DANGER
Never stand between the machine and the tractor during
movements.
No one should stand between the tractor and the machine when
handling the tractor or during lifting operations. This could cause
serious injury or even death.
