Coupling and uncoupling the machine
BAG0175.3 07.18
7.2 Coupling the towing eye / ball coupling
Coupling the towing eye / ball coupling
1. Direct people out of the danger area between the tractor and
implement before you approach the implement with the tractor.
2. Drive tractor up to the implement such that a free space (ap
25 cm) remains between tractor and implement.
3. Secure the tractor against unintentional start-up and uninten-
tional rolling.
4. Align the tractor drawbar and the implement coupling device with
each other so that the implement can be coupled and stands
level by adjusting the height using the crank on the jack.
5. Open or remove the coupling elements.
6. Now drive the tractor in reverse up to the implement so that the
coupling can be locked automatically or manually.
7. Secure the tractor against unintentional start-up and uninten-
tional rolling.
8. Locking mechanism:
8.1 Automatic: visual check of the locking mechanism.
8.2 Manual: locking of the coupling devices
When using a ball coupling, only apply the locking mecha-
nism after the drawbar has been lowered onto the ball cou-
pling.
9. Couple the supply lines with the tractor.
10. Raise the jack and secure in parking position with a linch pin.
11. Disengage parking brake.
12. Remove wheel chocks.
Uncoupling the towing eye / ball coupling
1. Secure the tractor against unintentional rolling.
2. Lower the jack and secure with a linch pin.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Apply wheel chocks.
5. Unlock and relieve the coupling device or lift the implement with
the ball coupling.
6. Disconnect the supply lines.
