3 Check chains : adjust each chain to give the shorter length for Category 1
implements and the longer length for Category 2 implements.
STABILIZER
KIT
It is desirable when using
certain
types of mounted equipment to minimise the
side float on the
lower
links. A stabilizer kit is available for this purpose which
basically consists of two links, two support brackets for attachment to the rear
axle, and two pivot pins and linch pins for the
easy
detachment of
tho
links.
All kits except the Ford 2000 kit provide for
Category 1 and 2 usage, and
separate kits are available for use with flexible link ends on the Ford 4000 and
Ford 5000
tractors.
Install the kits as shown in Figure H5 noting the following points
:
—
1.
Fully tighten all nuts and bolts only
after the
kit
has been
completely
installed.
2. Set internal check chains to the shortest length for Category 1 equipment
and the longest length for
Category
2 equipment.
