Lower links
When fitting implements to the lower links, always fit
the left-hand link first and use the levelling lever, as
necessary, to assist in the fitting of the right -hand
link. The maximum recommended lift load for normal
working is 1415 kg .
Interchangeable ball ends
To change ball ends (Fig. 67) from Category 1 to
Category 2 or vice versa, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the spring clip upwards, as shown.
2. Rotate the ball until the narrow section aligns with
the slot in the lower link, then remove the ball. The
ball comes out from one side only.
3. Fit the new ball by locating it with the narrow
section in line with the slot, then refit the spring clip
as shown.
NOTE: Always ensure that with the implement fitted
the linkage can travel through its full range without
straining the stabilizers.
CAUTION: When servicing or adjusting
implements mounted on the 3 -point
linkage in the raised position, observe
the following precautions:
*The implement must be supported on a stand or
other suitable blocking to support the implement
at all times.
*Ensure that the stand and tractor are on firm level
ground.
*Never use concrete blocks, bricks or old rotted
timbers for support. They collapse - even under
light loads.
*DO NOT work under any implement supported
on a jack.
NOTE: Always ensure that with the implement fitted
the linkage can travel through its full range without
straining the stabilizers.
Stabilizers
The stabilizers (Fig. 68) will control the sway of the
lower links and attached equipment when in work or
being transported. This is especially important when
operating on slopes or near fences, walls or ditches
and with certain implements. Check your Implement
Operator Instruction Book.
Once fitted the stabilizers need not be removed from
the tractor, but to ensure easy and efficient operation
the following points must be observed:
1. Check chains must be removed when the
stabilizers are fitted.
2. Ensure that the stabilizers have sideways
movement when the links are fully raised.
Stabilizer adjustment:
1. For fine adjustment (Fig. 68). Rotate the
turnbuckle(1) as required.
2. For coarse adjustment, remove the lock pin (2)
and lengthen or shorten the stabilizer as required.
Replace the lock pin.
