3 PREPARATION OF THE TRACTOR
3.1 Tyres
The pressure - especially in the rear tractor tyres - must be equal. In heavy condi-
tions it may be necessary to add wheel weights and/or water ballast. (See manu-
facturer’s instructions).
3.2 Lift Rods
Adjust lift rods to equal length. (See manufacturer’s instructions).
3.3 Top Link
Where there are alternative fitting positions at the tractor for the top link, fit the top
link tractor-sided as hight as possible.
3.4 Check Chains or Sway Blocks of the Three Point Linkage
Check chains or sway blocks MUST be adjusted so that the lower links are always
free to move sideways during ploughing.
Attention! Some tractors are equipped with automatic „check devices“ which re-
quire special adjustments. If a tractor suddenly shows side draft or if
the L/H and R/H front furrow width of the plough is different, an
unlocked „check device“ could be the reason for that. In such a case
the function of the automatic „check device“ must be checked. (See
manufacturer’s instructions)
3.5 Hydraulics
For work the tractor hydraulics must be set to ’Draft’ or ’Mixed’ Control. See manu-
facturer’s instructions.
3.6 Required hydraulic equipment
The tractor must be equipped with the following control units and return connec-
tions:
