7 PREPARING THE IMPLEMENT
7.1 General
Before using the implement for the first time, we recommend that you set it up as
described below while you are still in the yard and familiarise yourself with the im-
plement and its functions. The settings are adjusted with the implement mounted
on the tractor.
7.2 Upper control link length
Lower the plough.
Turn the upper control link until the plough standing on even ground is 1 to 3 cm
higher at the front than at the rear.
If the upper control link is in the slot, it must be turned until the top link pin is at the
front of the slot when the plough is lowered and the plough is also 1 to 3 cm hig-
her at the front than at the rear.
7.3 Three-point connection
Loss of the implement
The category of the three-point linkage on the tractor and the ca-
tegory of the cross shaft and top link pin must correspond, other-
wise the cross shaft and top link pin may slip out of the connection
when travelling on uneven ground or as a result of vibration.
Always ensure that the category of the three-point linkage and
the diameter of the cross shaft and top link pin are exactly the
same.
The maximum permissible tractor power and dimensions for each category in ac-
cordance with ISO 730-1 are set out in the table below.
