Mounting the Outfront
The mounting process is quite straightforward, and with practice and accurate driving, will
take only a few moments.
Start with the tractor unit engine off, PTO disengaged, and handbrake on. The tractor should
be lined up with the back of the Outfront, and about 2 metres behind it. Check your tractor
manufacturer’s handbook for any further information regarding safety whilst mounting
machinery. Locate the lift-arm sockets on the front of the machine, and remove the locking
pin. If the linkage arms are mounted to the Outfront, remove the mounting pins and remove
the arms.
Insert the linkage arm into the socket, noting the “handedness” of said arms (Figure 4.1.1),
and secure them with the locking pin provided with the tractor unit. Some tractor
manufacturers supply an “r-clip” or lynch pin to ensure the locking pin is retained – if one is
supplied, use it. See Figure 4.2.2 which shows a mounting arm in tractor socket.
