BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS
1 PREPARING THE TRACTOR
ŹCalculate required ballast for the tractor, then
attach ballast.
ŹCheck that the air pressure in the tractor's tyres
is correct and equal.
ŹCheck the output and lifting capacity of the rear
power lift on the tractor in relation to the plough
version.
ŹCheck the permissible axle load for the tractor.
ŹCheck that tractor’s and implement’s
connection categories are the same.
ŹSet the bottom links to the same height.
ŹLimit the bottom links to a low lateral ...
... tolerance with the side locks when raised
and adjust them so that they ...
... move freely when lowered.
ŹSet the tractor hydraulics to traction control.
ŹCheck the bottom link’s lifting height.
Minimum lifting height = 85 cm

• The bottom link (1) must slope downwards
slightly towards the implement.
• Attach the top link (2) so that it slopes upwards
towards the working implement.

• The incline can be changed by inserting the top
link stock in position A or B.
• Insert the top link into the elongated hole.
