Guidelines and instructions with which you must comply, are summarized in this section.
Personnel who install, operate and maintain these implements, must have read and un-
derstood this operating manual.
2.1 Intended use
The front power system must only be mounted on type John Deere 1026 R tractors. The
front power system is used for accommodating small to medium-sized implements, such
as snow blades, sweepers, etc. and should only be connected and operated with such
implements. Please note that you must avoid overloading the front axle, even in heavy-
duty implementation (e.g. snow removal). The permissible axle load is specified in the
appropriate documentation provided by the tractor manufacturer.
The front PTO shaft extends the mid-mount PTO shaft of the tractor to the front. It is used
to power sweepers, or similar implements that are driven with PTO shafts.

Attention!
The front power system should not be charged with downward pressure via
the tractor's hydraulic system! For implements that contact the ground or
roll on the ground in operation, the tractor hydraulic system must be
switched to the float setting! Strictly comply with the manufacturer's rec-
ommendation!

The front power system is not suitable for lifting people or for use as a work
platform!
In addition, compliance with the service and maintenance guidelines is a component of
intended use. Moreover intended use includes exclusive use of original spare parts and
supplemental equipment, or use of such parts and equipment that meet the technical re-
quirements specified by the manufacturer.
All other uses are excluded.
Non-intended use causes:
Health hazards for the operator or for third parties
Damage to the tractor and the implements
Immediate invalidation of the guarantee
Environmental damage
To avoid accidents and to reduce the risk of accidents, the relevant accident prevention
regulations and the other generally acknowledged occupational health and safety and
road traffic regulations apply without limitation.
Changes to the front power system and/or the associated accessories invalidate the
guarantee and exclude any liability on the part of the manufacturer for damage due to the
changes.


Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key.

Enter the vehicle chassis number of the front power system in section 6 of
this operating manual.
3.1 Installation of the front power system
Start the installation by fitting the two-piece attachment bracket on the front on the tractor
frame. The attachment bracket is fastened on the tractor frame on the front and side with
the bolts included in the scope of delivery.
Fig. 1: Attachment bracket
The actual front power system is only hooked into the provided aperture on the attach-
ment bracket with the cross-member of the front power system and locked with the two
angle bolts (left/right) on the lugs. The arrest nuts on the lugs can be omitted for faster
dismounting (e.g. frontloader). However this can result in higher noise levels.
Connect the hydraulic lines of the front power system to the hydraulic lines available on
the tractor side (lift, lower). Use cable ties to fix the hydraulic hoses in place along the
length of the tractor frame.

holder and the protective pot. Then pull out the arrest bar (included in the scope of deliv-
ery of the attachment bracket) and slide the pre-assembled drive shaft holder into the at-
tachment bracket.
