Tractor Lifting; Towing The Tractor - Zetor COMPAX CL Series Operator's Manual

Tractor Lifting

1- Front Axle
2 - Rear Axle
- If the tractor is to be lifted for service, take it to a suitably equipped workshop.
- Before carrying out any task on the tractor, carry out the following operations. Engage the front axle drive,
engage first gear, engage handbrake, and secure the wheels in contact with ground with wedges.
- Before lifting the tractor, prevent it from swinging by placing wooden wedges on the front axle.
- Use jacks of appropriate load capacity and place them in the middle of the front and rear axles, paying due
attention to the weight distribution.
- There are no plates on the tractor where the lifting point should be, as it would be very difficult to place
them in the available areas and because they could be easily removed or erased during normal tractor
operation.
NOTE: Position the jack at the appropriate lifting points, depending on the type of operation and in
accordance with the safety procedures described above.

Towing the Tractor

The tractor can be towed only for short distances, such as, for example, from inside to outside a building.
A broken down tractor should be towed for the minimum indispensable distance to remove it from potentially
dangerous conditions. Observe all legal provisions as envisaged in the highway code relative to national
legislation regarding towing manoeuvres.
CAUTION: We recommend transporting the tractor on a low loader in the case of longer
transport distances. Comply with the maximum width and height regulations for road transport.
Check that the loader is suitable for the weight of the tractor to be transported.
CAUTION: When towing the tractor, the operator must always sit in the driver's seat.
DANGER: Never allow unauthorized persons to access the driver's seat during towing.
