Hitching and unhitching the work vehicle to and from the tractor

Danger - Warning
Hitching the work vehicle up to the tractor is one of
the riskiest moments as it could required the involve-
ment of several people at once, carrying out synchro-
nised manoeuvres between the tractor driver and the
operators on the ground, which - if badly organised -
could result in accidents.
The work vehicle must only ever be coupled to a
tractor with an appropriate power rating which is
equipped with a lift that complies with the regula-
tions in force, observing the maximum weight limit
on the rear axle and the gross vehicle weight (see
tractor user manual).
Check that the work vehicle coupling to the tractor at
the third point of the hitch is securely locked so that
it cannot work loose.
For hitching, proceed as outlined below.
1) Position the work vehicle on flat, solid ground in a
risk-free area.
2) Move the tractor so that it is positioned near the work
vehicle lift frame.
3) Align the arms of the lifting unit with the coupling
points on the work vehicle.
4) Switch off the tractor engine and remove the key
from the ignition.
