ATTACHING TO TRACTOR
Attaching problems
On lifting gear with a crosspiece (Q) between the lower
links, damage could occur to the drive shaft when lowering
the attached implement.
In order to prevent
damage an extra
elevator unit is to be
installed between the
Weiste-triangle and
the lifting gear.
In a case such as
this please contact
our Customer Service
Dept.
When towing implements whose p.t.o stub is positioned
a long way forward, the drive shaft must be shortened
quite a bit.
• When the implement is engaged then there is
insufficient casing to over the drive shaft.
• The maximum angle of deviation of the universal-
joint will possibly
be exceeded (see
S u p p l e m e n t B
also).
In this case an
accessory kit is
necessary which
p o s i t i o n s t h e
implement approx.
200 mm forwards.
In a case such as this please contact our Customer
Service Dept.
Attaching in general
1. Observe safety tips in supplement A.
2. Mark off the implement at the tractor's front lifting gear.
• Secure locking bolts with linch pins.
Solving problems with hydraulic connection
If the tractor has no hydraulic connection at the front,
then a hydraulic hose must be run from the rear to the
front.
A switch between the front
lifting gear (HW) and front
control device (SG) via a three-
way tap may be necessary with
some tractors.

Drive shaft
• Before operating for the first time, drive shaft is to be
checked and adapted if necessary. See also chapter
"Fitting the drive shaft" in supplement B.
Attention!
The
following
danger source
exists with double
action front lifting
devices on trac-
tors:
The
maximum
mower unit
lowering depth is
set with limiting
chains. If the lif-
ting gear exceeds
the maximum
set lowering
depth then load
is placed on the
limiting chains.
This can lead to
the chain or the
linch pin breaking
and danger of
injury exists for
persons standing
in the danger are!
Take note!
No support stands
are required to
securely park the
mowing unit with
swath former!
