Coupling and uncoupling the machine
ZA-V BAG0087.11
7.1 Coupling the machine
WARNING
Danger from crushing and / or impacts when coupling the ma-
chine between the tractor and the machine!
Instruct people to leave the danger area between the tractor and the
machine before you approach the machine.
Any helpers may only act as guides standing next to the tractor and
the machine, and may only move between the vehicles when both are
at a standstill.
WARNING
Risk of crushing, catching, entrapment and impacts when the
machine is unexpectedly released 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.
→ Be absolutely certain to upgrade the category II upper and lower
link pins of the machine to category III using reducing sleeves if
your tractor has a category III three-point linkage.
•
Only use the upper and lower link pins provided to couple up the
machine (original pins).
•
Check the upper and lower link pins for visible defects whenever
the machine is coupled. Replace the upper and lower link pins in
the event of clearly visible wear.
• Secure the upper and lower link pins against unintentional re-
lease.
• Perform a visual inspection to ensure that the upper and lower
link hooks are correctly locked before reversing the tractor.
WARNING
Danger of breaking during operation, insufficient stability and
insufficient tractor steering and braking power on improper use
of the tractor!
You may only connect the machine to tractors suitable for the pur-
pose. For this, see the chapter "Checking the suitability of the tractor",
page 74.
