F. Operating instructions
F 5.2. Action to be taken during operation
DANGER: When auxiliary cylinders and
hydraulic motors are connected ensure that
the hoses are attached to the correct
couplings. If the hoses are incorrectly
attached the functions may be reversed.
WARNING! It is prohibited to transport
anything on auxiliary hydraulic valves while
driving on the road. The load, the trailer
link steering etc. have to be locked (e.g.
mechanically).
WARNING! Implements connected to the
linkage or the auxiliary hydraulic system
must be lowered during maintenance.
CAUTION: When the auxiliary hydraulics are not in use
ensure the auxiliary hydraulic control lever(s) are in
the central position (neutral). Overheating of the
hydraulic pump may result if the levers are locked in
the push or pull positions.
F 6. Attaching implements
When attaching implements to the three---point linkage on
the electrohydraulically controlled hydraulic lift models
(this also applies to the drawbar) use the lift/lower
push---buttons located on the mudguards or the inner
switch for connecting implement in the cab must be used.
The push---buttons only operate when the lift/stop/lower
switch is in the lower position.
DANGER! In the electrohydraulically
controlled hydraulic lift models always
before engaging or disengaging an
implement turn the draft control selector to
the position control positionP. In the
sensitive positions even the small position
control knob turning may cause an
unexpected linkage movement.
In the electrohydraulically controlled
hydraulic lift models always use the
push---buttons situated on the mudguards
or the inner switch for connecting
implements when engaging or disengaging
implements.
When engaging or disengaging implements
with push---buttons, always stand outside
the implement and beside the tractor. Never
stand on the implement or between the
implement and the tractor.
NOTE: After the buttons or inner switches for
connecting implement have been used on the
electrohydraulically controlled hydraulic lift models
the position control system must be activated by
operation of the lift/stop/lower switch.
WARNING: If necessary, when coupling or decoupling
an implement it should be supported to prevent it from
falling.
Make sure that the implement is correctly attached before
putting it to work and that the implement does not strike
against the cab when raised to the top position. When
transport driving with implements carried by the hydraulic
lift, the check links must be locked with pins.
Always follow the implement manufacturer’s instructions.
Remember that correct adjustment of harrows,
ploughs/plows and cultivators greatly reduces the
required power. An incorrectly adjusted plough/plow, for
instance, creates a badly shaped furrow, tries to twist the
tractor away from the travelling direction, increases fuel
consumption and causes loss of power because of wheel
slip.
When attaching implements to the hydraulic lift, make
sure that at least 20 % of the tractor weight still rests on
the front wheels. When required use a sufficient number of
front ballast weights.
F 6.1. Using PTO shafts
When PTO---powered implements are used, always make
sure that the PTO shaft is of the correct length, so that it
can work at full deflection vertically and horizontally. If the
shaft is too long it will cause damage. Follow the
instructions of the manufacturer when fitting the shaft.
WARNING: When fastening the PTO shaft
check that its shield is undamaged. Always
fasten the shield to a stationary part of the
tractor frame or implement.
