2 LINKAGE TO THE TRACTOR
Link the machine to the tractor as follows:
- Adjust the tractor’s three-point-hitch arms at an equal height.
- Fit the lower arms to the linkage pins (cat. II) of the three-point
hitch.
- Attach the top link of the tractor to the machine with a category
II top link pin.
- Place the 3 parking jacks in the raised position (fig. 4).
- Secure the tractor’s lower arms with stabilisation chains or rods to
eliminate any sideways movements.
- Check if the PTO shaft telescopes smoothly.
- Fit the PTO shaft to the tractor PTO.
During first assembly or when using another tractor, check
the minimum and maximum overlap of the PTO shaft halves
*
.
Also check whether the PTO shaft remains clear of the headstock
when the smallest possible bend is taken with the tractor. If not,
make allowance for this when manoeuvring and always take gener-
ous bends.
- Fit the safety chain of the protection tube to a rigid part of
the tractor.
- Connect the hydraulic hose to a single-acting hydraulic tractor
valve.
Permitted maximum oil pressure: 21.0 MPa (210 bar).
- Place the end of the operating cord of the ram lock in the tractor
cab.
