1. Safety precautions
IMPORTANT: When attaching a trailer or implement, do not exceed the
maximum weight of the rear axle.
• Allow sufficient clearance for turning.
Three-point hitch and side-mounted implements make a much larger arc
when turning than towed equipment. Use only Valtra-approved attachments
and implements.
• Familiarise yourself with the working area and terrain.
Pay attention to vertical clearance and limitations that arise due to the
increased reach.
WARNING: Before entering between the tractor and the implement,
prevent the tractor from moving by applying the parking brake or
blocking the wheels. There is a risk of accidents if the tractor or
implement should move.
WARNING: Implements attached to the linkage or the auxiliary
hydraulic system must be lowered to the ground while parking and
during maintenance.
WARNING: When installing an implement, air in the hydraulic hoses
and cylinders can cause erratic operation. Run the engine at a low
speed and make slow movements with the joystick to purge any air
from the hydraulic system.
WARNING: When installing an implement, keep hands and feet away
from moving components. Do not use your fingers to check the
alignment of holes or pins. Use a mandrel or a steel rod.
WARNING: When disconnecting, the implement may fall downward.
WARNING: Pull only from the approved drawbar. Attaching to other
locations and then towing may cause the tractor to overturn.
