The Verti-Top can be attached to the tractor by means of the 3-point attachment.
The procedure is as follows
(see Figure11)
:
1.
Remove the 3-point pins (1 and 2).
2.
Drive the tractor carefully backwards so that the lower connecting arms can
be attached to the frame.
3.
Make sure that the tractor is blocked well and cannot move on its
own accord!
4.
Switch off the tractor before descending!
5.
Connect the lower connecting arms to the 3-point connecting plates using
the pins (1) and secure these with the supplied locking pins.
6. Set the stabilizer of the tractor to 100 mm lateral stroke.
7. Mount the top rod of your tractor and turn it outward until it reaches the
same height as the 3-point stop connection (3) (transport position) of the
Verti-Top.
8.
Connect the top rod (4) to the frame with the pin (2); secure the pin (2) with
the supplied locking pin.
9.
Turn the top rod inwards so that it becomes pressurized.
10. Mount the PTO (5) to the PTO axle of the tractor and the Verti-Top.
11.
