The Verti-Top can be attached to the tractor by means of the 3-point attachment.
The procedure is as follows:
(Figure 9)
1. Drive the tractor carefully backwards so that the lower connecting arms can
be attached to the frame.
!! Make sure that the tractor is blocked well and cannot move on its own
accord !!
!! Switch off the tractor before descending !!
2. Connect the lower connecting arms to the 3-point pins and secure these with
the supplied locking pins.
3. Set the stabilizer of the tractor to 100 mm lateral stroke.
4. 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.
5. Connect the top rod to the frame with the pin; secure the pin with the supplied
locking pin.
6. Twist the top rod into it until the top rod is just under pressure.
7. Mount the PTO to the PTO axle of the tractor and the Verti-Top.
!! Make sure that all the securing pins are locked !!
