SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION
3--84
Implement to Cab/Platform Clearance
WARNING
Some mounted and semi-mounted equipment may
interfere with and damage the cab or platform. You
may be injured by broken glass or the cab ROPS may
be damaged if equipment interferes with the cab or
platform.
To prevent tractor damage, proceed as follows:
• Attach the equipment as outlined previously.
• Check for adequate clearance by slowly raising
the equipment with the lift control lever in
Position Control. If any part of the equipment
comes closer than 100 mm (4 in.) to the cab,
adopt one of the following options:
If your tractor has Mechanical Lower Link Sensing
hydraulics, adjust the height limiter cam to prevent
excessive lift. If your tractor is equipped with
Electronic Draft Control, adjust the height limit
control knob to limit upward movement.
If Draft Control is needed or if insufficient ground
clearance is obtained with adequate cab clearance,
you can adjust the lift linkage, open the cab rear
window, or modify the equipment to clear the cab.
Linkage adjustments, while increasing cab
clearance, may have an adverse effect on the
implement operating characteristics
• Set the lift rods in the front hole in the lower links.
This will reduce the lift height (dependent upon
the lift rod length).
• Lengthen the lift rods.
• Connect the top link to the upper hole in the top
link attachment bracket and use the lowest
possible equipment mast hole.
• Make only the minimum adjustments required to
clear the cab. If equipment performance is
unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to modify the
equipment, consult your authorised dealer.
Removing Equipment
When removing equipment, the procedure is the
reverse of attaching. The following information will
make disconnection easier and safer.
• Always park the equipment on a firm, level
surface.
• Support equipment so that it will not tip or fall
when detached from the tractor.
• Always relieve all hydraulic pressure in remote
cylinders by selecting the float position before
disconnecting.
When attaching mounted equipment to the
three-point linkage, the following adjustments may
be made to ensure satisfactory operation:
