5.5 Attaching to 3-point linkage (C430)
Ensure both lower link arms are adjusted equally in height. If you are using tractor
couplers, secure the lower link balls onto the CAT 2 pins on the machine, using linch
pins. Line up the tractor and reverse slowly until the lower link arms are aligned under
the CAT 2 pins on the machine. Then, raise the lower link arms until they are latched
securely on the quick couplers.
If quick couplers are not being used, line up the tractor with the machine and reverse
slowly until the lower link arms are aligned within the link arm slots. Then adjust the
height until they are in line with the locating holes and secure using the CAT 2 pins and
linch pins.
Once the lower link arms are secure, the top link can be attached and adjusted to
ensure that the machine is both secure and level during operation. The lower link
stabilisers may require adjusting to make above connections and then tightened to
ensure there is no lateral movement.
Once the tractor is attached to the 3-point linkage, attach the PTO shaft. Before
connecting the PTO shaft to the tractor, raise the machine so that the PTO stubs of both
the machine and tractor are horizontal to each other. First, fit the PTO shaft to the
machine and then check if the PTO can be connected to the tractor stub. If not, then
the PTO shaft is too long and must be altered. Depending on the country of use, a
safety chain may also be required.
Ensure the lights are connected. Detach in reverse order of attachment.
CAUTION: Complete a full inspection before travelling on the road
The lighting system of the machine must be connected to the tractor and
must be in a fully functioning condition. Always practice safety first!
