• When fitting the machine to the three point linkage of the tractor
bring all control levers into such a position that unintended lifting
or lowering is impossible!
• When fitting to the three-
point linkage the mounting categories at
the tractor and the implement must be compatible!
• There is danger of injury when mounting implements!
• In the area of the three point linkage there is danger of injury by
its crushing and shearing areas!
• Never allow anyone to stay between tractor and implement with-
out having secured by stop wedges against rolling away!
• Attach implements only with the prescribed tools!
• Adhere to the manufacturer’s advice!
• For travelling on public roads bring all devices into transport
position!
• When driving in bends with trailed or mounted implements mind
the wide protrusions and the dynamic forces of the implement!
• Before travelling in public roads secure all swivelling compo-
nents against an endangering change of their position!
• When operating the supporting devices danger by crushing or
shearing may occur!
• Mounted implements and ballast weights affect the driving be-
haviour as well as steering and braking of the tractor!
• The tractor front axle load must be at least 20 % of the tractor’s
net weight in order to ensure a sufficient steering. If necessary
use front weights!

By mounting implements at the front or in the rear of a tractor, do
not exceed
• the permissible tractor total weight.
• the permissible tractor axle loads.
• the permissible tyre carrying capacity of the tractor tyres.
• The tractor must provide the prescribed brake lag for the loaden
combination according to the national legal traffic regulations.
• Observe the maximum payload of the mounted implement and
the permissible axle loads of the tractor!
• Before travelling with the mounted implement secure the control
lever against unintended lowering!
• Ensure that the mounted implement is safely parked!
