Attaching to Basic Weight

LX1046223-UN-13JUL11

Suspend the pick-up weight from the draft links of any suitable tractor, and back up the tractor in front of the tractor to which the pick-up weight is to be attached.

NOTE: Once the pick-up weight has been attached, it is no longer possible to use the conventional additional front weights. The one exception to this is the 180 kg (400 lb) weight pack.

Lower the pick-up weight onto the basic weight. Notice how the weight engages.

Do NOT disengage the weight from the draft links of the supporting tractor at this stage. First insert and tighten the retaining screw, and refer to the following description.

CAUTION: Make sure no-one is standing in the danger zone.

CAUTION: On the tractor that is to receive the pick-up weight, engage the park lock.

CAUTION: Select depth control for the hitch of the support tractor.

CAUTION: Make sure that the hooks on the draft links are engaged properly.

IMPORTANT: Front-end installation is authorized only for tractors with front-wheel drive!

IMPORTANT: Comply with permissible axle loads and tire and wheel rim bearing capacities. See Operator's Manual and manufacturer's notes.

IMPORTANT: When attaching, do NOT use the center link.
