Guidelines and instructions with which you must comply are summarized in this section.
Personnel who install, operate and maintain the device, must have read and understood
this operating manual.
2.1 Intended use
The front power lift should only be mounted on type JD 3036 tractors, it is used for ac-
commodating 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 re-
moval). The permissible axle load is specified in the appropriate documentation provided
by the tractor manufacturer.
Attention!
The front power lift 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 recommendation!
The front power lift is not suitable for lifting people or for use as a work plat-
form!
In addition compliance with the service and maintenance guidelines is a component of in-
tended 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 attachments
•Immediate invalidation of the guarantee
•Environmental damage
To avoid accidents and 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 lift and/or the associated accessories invalidate the guaran-
tee and exclude any liability on the part of the manufacturer for damage due to the
changes.

3.1.2 Preparation
Before you mount the front power lift on the frame of the tractor it is necessary to drill 3
tapped holes on each side of the frame. The precise position of the individual bores is
shown in Fig 3.
Fig 3: Mounting bores in the tractor frame
The bore diameter for the A-marked bores is 16 mm, and the bore diameter for the B-
marked bore is 12 mm.
3.1.3 Mounting the front power lift
1. Position the front power lift correctly relative to the tractor.
2. Bolt the front power lift to the tractor frame on both sides with the 2 rear screws
(see Fig 4).

4. Bring both parts together in the correct position and bolt the side plates to the trac-
tor frame and basic implements with 4 bolts on each side (see Fig 6).
Fig 6: Bolting the side plates
5. Bolt the upper link holder to the tractor frame inside on the front. For use with a
frontloader the upper link must be mounted on the outside.

3.2.2 Dismounting the lift arms
The lift arms, the coupling support and the upper link must always be removed for opera-
tion with frontloader. To dismount the lift arms you must remove the fastening screw and
the bolt.

3.3 Mounting an original JD hood guard
To mount a John Deere hood guard as shown in Fig 14 it is necessary the align the fas-
tening points on the front power lift. To do this we recommend the use of our conversion
kit for JD frontloaders (see Fig. 17, article no. 131 7224)

3.4.2 Attaching the control device
1. Fasten the control device below the right fender as shown in Fig 20. To do this it is
necessary to drill an 8.5 mm bore. The position of the bore is shown in Fig 21. For
marking, we recommend using the holder as a drilling template. The other two
mounting bores are already present in the tractor fender and you do not need to
drill these bores yourself.

Attention!
The hydraulic pump connection is connected to the connection of the pres-
sure continuation via a passage bore. Consequently it is necessary to seal
this passage bore with a screw (spare part no. 01 000 380) before mounting
a hose to the hydraulic pump connection.

4 Operation
Attention!
Before starting up the implement read the instructions on safety and han-
dling for operation of the entire implement and connection to the tractor. In
addition, prior to start-up you must ensure that the vehicle meets the re-
quirements specified in the German Road Traffic Vehicle Licensing Act.
The front power lift should only be placed in service if all safety devices are
attached and fully functional. Prior to starting work the operator must famil-
iarize himself with the device and ensure for himself that the entire device is
operationally reliable.
Moving objects and fixtures, (ropes, chains, linkage, etc.) must be ade-
quately secured before transport or driving on public roads to exclude the
danger of accident or hazards to third persons.
4.1 Attachment variants of the coupling triangle

4.2 Coupling and uncoupling implements

Note!
Comply with the axle loads specified by the tractor manufacturer
1. Drive the tractor forward in front of the implement.
2. Lower the front power lift hydraulically.
3. Drive slowly toward the implement until the coupling triangle of the tractor is under
the coupling triangle of the implement.
4. Slowly lift the front power lift until the implement is slightly lifted.
5. Secure the implement with the appropriate triangle locking mechanism. The trian-
gle locking mechanism depends on the type of implement.
4.3 Lowering safeguard for the front power lift

Note!
Use the lowering safeguard when:
- Driving on roads
- Driving between work locations
- Cleaning and maintenance tasks
Fig 28: Lowering safeguard, shown in unlocked position
1. Lift the front power lift.
2. Activate the stop valve by pulling it out and swinging it 90 degrees relative to the
hydraulic hoses. The lowering safeguard is now locked.
