6.1
Mounting on the tractor
The air pressure in the rear tractor tyres should be 0.8 bar during operation. If
the tyres have a lower load capacity, increase the pressure.
Under difficult operating conditions, additional wheel weights can be useful.
Please also refer to the operating manual from the tractor manufacturer.
The tractor should be equipped with sufficient ballast weight at the front to
ensure the steering and braking capacity. At least 20 % of the empty vehicle
weight is required on the front axle.
The lifting struts must be adjusted to the same height and locked on the left
and on the right.
The implement must be mounted on the standard lower link or towing hitch.
Also refer to the sticker on the implement (observe the specifications of the
tractor manufacturer).
After coupling the lower link, fold up the parking support by pulling out the pin
and then reinserting the pin and locking it (Fig.: 5 and 6).
Connect the hydraulic hoses to 3 double-acting control units. During
connection, make sure that the hoses are unpressurised both on the tractor
and implement sides.
Secure the implement against rolling away.
Special care must be taken when driving the tractor in reverse. It is forbidden
to stand between the tractor and the implement.
The implement should only be parked on level and solid ground. Before
uncoupling, the implement should be lowered onto the ground.
