A
levelling box
is
provided on
the
right-hand
lift
rod
to
control the level of the
implement. Turn
the lever
clockwise
to
lengthen and anticlockwise
to
shorten
the rod.
IMPLEMENT ATTACHMENT
When
connecting linkage
mounted implements
attach the left-hand lower
link
first,
then the right-hand
link
(which can be
raised or lowered using
the
levelling
box), and
finally
the top
link.
This operation
is
much
easier
if
the
tractor
is
correctly
aligned with the implement.
