Coupling the implement
Coupling the implement
Increased risk of injury
When coupling the implement to the tractor, there is an increased risk
of injury. Therefore:
•
secure the tractor in such a way that it cannot roll forwards or back-
wards.
•
Secure the implement against rolling away by using wheel wedges.
•
Never stand between the tractor and the implement during cou-
pling.
If this is not complied with, the consequence can be serious or fatal
injuries.
Coupling the lift
link drawbar
The implement is factory-fitted for coupling to the fixed lift link drawbar
or pending attachment.
> Couple the implement to the lift link drawbar.
> Secure the hitch pin in position (a) with the split pin.
> Secure the lift link drawbar against accidental lifting. This would
damage the cardan shaft.
Coupling the pend-
ing attachment
> Couple the implement to the pending attachment.
> Secure the hitch pin in position (z) with the split pin.
Coupling the
cardan shaft
> Couple the free-wheel cardan shaft to the tractor's PTO shaft.
> By means of a chain, secure the free-wheel cardan shaft against
being co-rotated.
Perform the following checks:
> Is the wide-angle joint located on the implement side?
> Is the free-wheel cardan shaft engaged on the shaft ends?
