Danger!
Severe injury to the operator or third parties occurs.
Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key before mounting or
dismounting the implements.

3.1 Mounting the front power lift
3.1.1 Mounting the front power lift basic implement
There are two different extension kits for the basic implement:
Extension kit cat. 0
Extension kit cat. 1 (coupling triangle not included in the scope of delivery, however it
is available as optional equipment).
Fig 1: Adapt the cooling line
1. Unscrew the hitch.

&
Note!
If you have unscrewed the two screws (see), do not move the tractor until
you have retightened these screws.
On both sides, unscrew the screws marked in
Fig 1: Adapt the cooling line
2. from the front axle. This makes it easier to fasten the base frame onto the tractor.
Attention!
Danger of injury due to falling frame parts.
The base frame weighs approx. 50 kg. It may be necessary to use a jack
when you mount the base frame.
3. On the left side the cooling line must be bent approximately 8-10 mm to the inside
by a specialized company so that the lift shaft does not collide with the line.
Fig 2: Adapt the cooling line
4. Mount the two base frames on the tractor frame hand tight with the aid of the
lower front screw (see arrow).

Fig 9: Hydraulic hose, left rear
11. Continue to lay out the hydraulic hoses further to the rear so that they can be
routed around the engine block on the right side of the tractor. In this process fas-
ten the lines with cable ties at a suitable point.
Fig 10: Hydraulic hose, right rear
12. Continue to lay out the hydraulic hoses along the engine block to the right hy-
draulic cylinder and connect the lines to the lines of the right hydraulic cylinder
(2x short) via the T-piece.

Installation

13. Lay out the lines from the hydraulic connection of the tractor to the T-piece. En-
sure that the stop valve is in the lift line (lines to the bottom of the cylinders).
Attention!
Ensure that the hydraulic system is connected properly. Always connect
the left or right cylinder to the same line, i.e. one line on the piston head
side, the other on the piston rod side.
Fig 12: Hydraulic connections on the tractor
14. Retighten all hydraulic hose lines.
15. Check all hydraulic hose connections for firm seat, ensure that there are no leaks.
