Coupling and uncoupling the machine
-V BAG0087.11 01.20
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.
1. Secure the machine to prevent it from accidentally rolling away if
the machine is equipped with a transport fixture –
and parking device" chapter on page 65.
2. Always check for visible damage when coupling the machine:
See the chapter "Obligation of operator" on page 9.
3. Fasten the ball sleeves over the upper link pins and fasten the
lower link pins in the pivot points of the three-point attachment
frame.
Be absolutely certain to upgrade the category II upper and lower link
pins of the machine to category III using reducing sleeves if your trac-
tor has a category III three-point linkage.
4. Secure the upper link pin and the lower link pin against uninten-
tional release with a linchpin each. See the chapter "3-point at-
tachment frame", Page 52.
5. Direct people out of the danger area between the tractor and
machine before you approach the machine with the tractor.
6. First couple the PTO shaft and the supply lines to the tractor
before you couple the machine with the tractor as follows:
6.1 Drive the tractor up to the machine to leave a clearance of
approximately 25 cm between tractor and machine.
6.2 Secure the tractor against unintentional starting and unin-
tentional rolling away. For this, see the chapter "Securing
the tractor against unintentional starting and rolling", from
page 80.
6.3 Check whether the universal joint shaft of the tractor is
switched off.
6.4 Couple the PTO shaft, see the chapter "Coupling the PTO
shaft", from page 47.
6.5 Couple the hydraulic hose lines, see the chapter "Coupling
the hydraulic hose lines", from page 50.
6.6
Couple the lighting system, see the chapter "Transportation
equipment", page 33.
6.7 Couple the control computer (if installed), refer to separate
operating manual.
6.8 Align the lower link hooks so that they are flush with the
lower attachment points of the machine.
7. Now continue to reverse the tractor up to the machine so that
the lower linking points of the machine pick up the lower link
hook of the tractor.
8. Raise the three-point hydraulic system of the tractor until the
lower link hooks receive the ball sleeves and automatically inter-
lock.
