C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Operating the Hydraulic Carrier* (Power Lifter) 1 Pressure adjuster 2 ON-OFF plate 3 Star knob for turning on/off The hydraulic carrier allows for a weight compensation between implement and tractor. This increases the axle load and the climbing ability is improved.
Page 112
Operating Instructions Operating the Implements Road Travel with Carrier NOTE Do not raise the implement completely to allow the shock absorption to be effective. Operation with Carrier NOTE If the implement adapts to uneven ground with delay, turn the pressure adjuster (1) back until the pressure is reduced.
Page 113
The variable pump for the implements is a device for driving attachments with a high hydraulic power demand such as a spiral-bladed lawn mower. It draws its oil from the working hydraulics tank with a filling quantity of approx. 45 litres and is controlled from the driver's station.
Page 114
Operating Instructions Operating the Implements ATTENTION Increase the engine speed, but then increase the oil flow only slowly. Turn the rotary knob (5) to adjust the oil flow from 0 to 100 litres/min until the desired flow rate for the imple- ment is reached.
Page 115
C 9700 ... C 9.88 H Operating the Power Hydraulics* ( 75 L Fixed Flow) The power hydraulic system is used for driving attachments with a fixed hydraulic power demand. It draws the oil from the working hydraulics tank and is controlled from the driver's station.
Page 116
Operating Instructions Operating the Implements ATTENTION If the implement is no longer used, turn off the power hydraulics starting safety switch to prevent any unnecessary overheating of the hydraulic oil. Never leave the power hydraulic system on: when the engine is running without a load connected to the couplings or not in operation, when driving without needing oil.
