Attaching three-point equipment

WARNING
Entanglement hazard!
Before attaching or detaching equipment or
changing the Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft: 1)
Apply the parking brake. 2) Move all controls
to neutral and PTO control knob to the dis-
engaged position. 3) Stop the engine and re-
move the key. 4) Wait for the PTO shaft to stop
turning before leaving the cab.
Failure to comply could result in death or se-
rious injury.
NOTICE: When attaching mounted or semi mounted im-
plement to the three-point linkage, ensure that there is ad-
equate 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 po-
sition 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.
Most implements can be attached 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. Carefully bring the tractor rearwards to match
the tractor and implement hitch points. First attach the
left-hand lower link, then by adjusting the leveling box,
attach the right lower link.
2. Lengthen or shorten the top link until the implement
mast pin can be inserted through the mast and upper
link of the implement.
3. When detaching the implement, the procedure is the
reverse of attaching. The following hints will make
detaching easier and safer.
• Always park the implement on a level, firm surface.
• Implement should be supported so that it cannot tip or
fall when detached from the tractor.
• Always relieve all hydraulic pressure in any remote
cylinders before detaching.
