Vertical lift rods
Therightandleftverticalliftrodscanberegulatedby
meansofanadjustmentcrankinordertoalterthelate-
ralangleoftheimplements.Theycanalsobeadjusted
byturningthebackingplatethrough90°:thisgives
twosettings,onewiththeplatefixed(A),theotherwith
theplatefreetoslide(B).Thislatterpositionmustbe
usedforimplementsthatrequireacertainfreedomof

Side stabilizers
Thesidestabilizers(1)canbesettoreducesideswing
ofthelowerlinksofthethree-pointlinkage.
Whenworkingwithimplementssuchasgraders,
rollers,hoes,weeders,etc.thesideswingofthelower
linkscanbeadjustedaccordingtothejobonhand.
Whenworkinginsteadwithploughs,diskharrows,etc.
thestabilizerscanbesettoallowthelowerlinksto
swingfreely.
Forthetransportonroadwithliftlinksinhighposition,
lowerlinkssideswingmustberestrictedindependently
ofanypreviousadjustmentduringwork.
Turnthestabilizers(2)fortheadjustment:
– turnanti-clockwisetoincreasesideswingofthree-
pointlinkage;
– turnclockwisetoreduceorevenstopsideswingof
three-pointlinkage.
Ifthethree-pointlinkageissetonfloatmode,itisne-
cessarytocheckthatsideswingissimmetricalonboth
sides,takingtherearwheelrimasareference.
Swingthethree-pointlinkagealltotherightandmeasu-
rethedistancefromlowerlinktowheelrim.
Forspecialrequirements,thelinklengthcanbeso
adjustedastooffsettheimplementrelativelytothe
tractoraxis.Inthiscasethelinksmustbeadjustedto
differentlengths,alwaysassuringthattheimplementis
safelylocked.
