Coupling and uncoupling the machine
WARNING
Risk of contusions, cutting, catching, drawing in and knocks
when the machine unexpectedly releases from the tractor!
• Use the intended equipment to connect the tractor and the ma-
chine in the proper way.
• When coupling the machine to the tractor's three-point hydraulic
system, ensure that the attachment categories of the tractor and
the machine are the same.
WARNING
Risk of energy supply failure between the tractor and the ma-
chine through damaged power lines!
During coupling, check the course of the power lines. The power lines
• must give slightly without tension, bending or rubbing on all
movements of the connected machine.
• may not scour other parts.
DANGER
When separated from the tractor the machine must always be
secured by means of 4 wheel chocks because the Cirrus has no
parking brake!
DANGER
The lower link of the tractor must not have any lateral play so
that the machine always runs centrically behind the tractor and
does not knock back and forth!
CAUTION
Do not make any machine connections until the tractor and ma-
chine are coupled, the tractor motor is shut down, the tractor
parking brake applied and the ignition key removed!
Do not connect the supply line (red) of the service brake to the
tractor until the tractor motor is shut down, the tractor parking
brake is applied and the ignition key is removed!
The Cirrus can be coupled or uncoupled whether it is folded in or out
(except Cirrus 3002).
Always retract the integrated running gear beforehand (lower the ma-
chine). When the machine is uncoupled and the running gear is ex-
tended (machine raised) the pressure in the supply line can increase
so much that later coupling to the tractor becomes impossible.
