Using Quick Couplings For Lower Links - Valtra HiTech T3 Series Operator's Manual

3. Operation
2. Press the lift/lower switch to lift or lower the lower links.
You can use the lift/lower push buttons on the mudguards also to lift or lower
the lower links.
The lower links lift as long as you press the symbol side of the lift/lower
switch and lower as long as you press the switch side opposite to the symbol
side of the lift/lower switch.
3. Connect the implement.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the implement is correctly attached and that it
does not hit the other parts of the tractor when lifted to the selected transport
height.
Check links must be locked with pins when transporting implements that are
carried by the three-point linkage.
4. Follow the implement manufacturer's instructions.
Correct adjustment of harrows, ploughs and cultivators reduces the required
tractor power. An incorrectly adjusted plough, for instance, creates a badly
shaped furrow, tends to twist the tractor away from the travelling direction,
increases fuel consumption and wastes power due to wheel slip.
5. Activate the linkage with the lift/stop/lower switch.
After using the lift/lower switch, you have to activate the linkage again.

DANGER: When attaching or releasing implements, always stand
outside the implement and beside the tractor. Never stand on the
implement or between the implement and the tractor.
WARNING: The linkage movement speed increases when the lift/
lower switch is pressed for a longer time.
DANGER: The implement has to be mechanically connected to
the tractor (the lower links and the top link) before connecting the
quick-action couplings.
DANGER: Make sure that at least 20% of the total combination
weight rests on the front wheels. When needed, use a sufficient
number of front ballast weights.
