1.2.4.6
Operating with implements
Read and follow the instructions to avoid unnecessary risks when operating with
implements and attachments.
WARNING: Always follow carefully the instructions given in the
implement's user documentation. It is not allowed to use an implement
without reading and understanding all the precautions and regulations.
WARNING: Before entering between the tractor and the implement,
prevent the tractor from moving by applying the parking brake or
blocking the wheels. There is risk of accidents if the tractor or
implement should move.
WARNING: Implements attached to the linkage or the auxiliary
hydraulic system must be lowered to the ground while parking and
during maintenance.
WARNING: When installing an implement, air in hydraulic hoses and
cylinders can cause erratic operation.Run the engine at low speed and
make slow movements with the joystick to purge any air from the
hydraulic system.
WARNING: When installing an implement, keep hands and feet away
from moving components.Do not use your fingers to check the
alignment of holes or pins — use a mandrel or a steel rod.
WARNING: When disconnecting, the implement may fall downwards.
IMPORTANT: When attaching a trailer or implement, be sure not to exceed the
maximum weight of the rear axle. See the technical specifications in this manual
for the maximum permissible axle loading.
•
Make sure to allow sufficient clearance for turning.
Three-point hitch and side-mounted implements make a much larger arc
when turning than towed equipment. Use only Valtra approved attachments
and implements.
•
Familiarise yourself with the working area and terrain.
Pay attention to vertical clearance and limitations that arise due to the
increased reach.
