Attaching Implement to Quick Coupler

CAUTION: Avoid possible bodily injury or machine damage. Put transmission in PARK position (engage park brake on Powershift transmission) and check the full range of hitch operation for interference, binding, or PTO separation whenever an implement is attached.

Do not stand between tractor and implement.

1. Turn load/depth control fully counter clockwise (A) before attaching or detaching implements.

2. Pull up on coupler latch handles (B).

IMPORTANT: Contacting implement hitch pins with the levers in the locked position can result in damage to the latch mechanism.

3. Lower hitch until quick coupler hooks are lower than implement hitch pins.

4. Back up tractor to implement.

5.

Raise hitch enough to engage implement pins in hooks.

CAUTION: Avoid bodily injury or machine damage. Be sure implement is attached correctly; incorrect attachment can allow implement to be pulled over the tractor wheel and onto the operator station.

6. Push coupler latch handles (A) down to lock implement to quick coupler.

7. Connect hydraulic hoses and electrical connections.

8.

Slowly pull hitch control lever (A) to raise implement. Check for interference. Lower implement to ground and adjust upper height limit control if necessary.

9. Turn load/depth control (B) to desired setting.

IMPORTANT: Check for interference or binding of center link end and quick coupler (C), when using optional high lift capacity hitch.

If interference or binding is found, use standard lift capacity center link end. See your John Deere Dealer.
