Attaching Three-Point Hitch Equipment - New Holland Workmaster 25S Operator's Manual

Attaching three-point hitch equipment

WARNING
Entanglement hazard! Before you attach or detach equipment or change the Power Take-Off (PTO)
shaft:
1) Apply the parking brake.
2) Move all controls to neutral. Put the PTO control knob in the disengaged position.
3) Stop the engine. Remove the key.
4) Wait for the PTO shaft to stop turning before you leave the cab or operator's platform.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE: When attaching mounted or semi mounted implement to the three-point linkage, ensure that there is ade-
quate clearance between the implement and the rear of the tractor. The clearances in the raised position should be
checked by raising the implement carefully with the position control lever. With the implement fully raised there must
be at least 100 mm (4 in) clearance between the implement and the nearest part of the tractor.
Attach implements to the tractor as follows:
1. Position the tractor so that the lower link hitch points are level with and slightly ahead of the implement hitch pins.
2. Carefully bring the tractor rearwards to match the tractor and implement hitch points.
3. Attach the left-hand lower link.
4. Adjust the right-hand lower link to the proper height of the implement and attach the right-hand link.
5. Lengthen or shorten the top link until the implement mast pin can be inserted through the mast and upper link of
the implement.
To detach the implement, the following procedures will make detaching the easier and safer.
• Park the implement and tractor on a level, firm surface.
• Support the implement so that it cannot tip or fall when detached from the tractor.
• Relieve all hydraulic pressure in any remote cylinders before detaching implement.
WARNING
Crushing hazard!
Before disconnecting a lift rod from the lower link, lower the attached implement to the ground, and
stop the engine. Make sure the attached implement is correctly supported and no pressure remains
in the hydraulic system before removing the lift rod securing pins.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Left-hand lift rod adjustment
1. The left-hand lift rod (1) length is not adjustable.
Right-hand lift rod adjustment
NOTE: The right-hand lift rod is readily adjustable even
when connected between the lift arm and lower link.
To lengthen or shorten the right-hand lift rod (2)
1. Loosen jam nut (3)
2. Rotate center section of lift arm (4) clockwise to re-
duce the length and counter-clockwise to increase the
length
3. Tighten jam nut against center section after desired
length is achieved
