Attaching three-point equipment
WARNING
Entanglement hazard!
Before attaching or detaching equipment or changing the Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft: 1) Apply the
parking brake. 2) Move all controls to neutral and PTO control knob to the disengaged position. 3)
Stop the engine and remove the key. 4) Wait for the PTO shaft to stop turning before leaving the cab.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0323A
NOTICE: When attaching mounted or semi mounted implement to the three-point linkage, ensure that there is ade-
quate clearance between the implement and the rear of the tractor. Check the clearances in the raised position, by
raising the implement carefully with the position control lever. With the implement fully raised there must be at least
100 mm (4 in) of clearance between the implement and any part of the tractor.
Attach implements to the tractor as follows:
1. Position the tractor so that the lower link hitch points are level with and slightly ahead of the implement hitch pins.
Carefully bring the tractor rearwards to match the tractor and implement hitch points. First attach the left-hand
lower link, then by adjusting the leveling box, attach the right lower link.
2. Lengthen or shorten the top link until the implement mast pin can be inserted through the mast and upper link of
the implement.
3. When detaching the implement, the procedure is the reverse of attaching.
4. The following hints will make detaching easier and safer:
â—‹
Always park the implement on a level, îš¿rm surface.
â—‹
Support the implement so that it cannot tip or fall when detached from the tractor.
â—‹
Always relieve all hydraulic pressure in any remote cylinders before detaching.
