SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION
3--85
LIFT RODS, LOWER LINKS AND TOP LINK
Lower Links and Lift Rod Adjustment
Each lower link (3) has three holes for attachment of
the lift rods. When the tractor leaves the factory, the
lift rods (1) are connected to the rear hole in each
lower link to give maximum lift capacity. If required,
attach the lift rods to the front hole (nearest the
tractor) for maximum lift height. The centre hole
offers a compromise between the optimum lift height
and lift capacity.

Both left and right-hand lift rods have a slot at the
lower end which is used to provide a limited amount
of float on the lower link arms. For normal operation
the rectangular plate on the securing pin (1) is
positioned so the lift arm remains fixed in relation to
the lower link arm.
143
If the securing pin (1) is rotated through 90° as
shown, this will allow an implement limited vertical
movement independent of the tractor which is a
useful feature for the operation of wide implements.
After carrying out the adjustment ensure the outer
retaining plate and spring clip are replaced and
securely locked.
Before disconnecting a lift rod from the lower link,
lower attached equipment to the ground, apply the
handbrake and stop the engine. Prior to removing the
securing pin ensure that attached equipment is
correctly supported and that no residual pressure
remains in the hydraulic system.
Move the hydraulic lift control lever backwards and
forwards several times, in order to remove residual
pressure, then move the lever fully forward.
With electronic draft control (EDC) move the
hydraulic lift control lever to the fully lowered position
before switching off the engine.
