Guidelines and instructions with which you must comply, are summarized in this section.
Personnel who install, operate and maintain these implements, must have read and un-
derstood this operating manual.
2.1 Intended use
The front power system must only be mounted on type John Deere 1026 R tractors. The
front power system is used for accommodating small to medium-sized implements, such
as snow blades, sweepers, etc. and should only be connected and operated with such
implements. Please note that you must avoid overloading the front axle, even in heavyduty implementation (e.g. snow removal). The permissible axle load is specified in the
appropriate documentation provided by the tractor manufacturer.
The front PTO shaft extends the mid-mount PTO shaft of the tractor to the front. It is used
to power sweepers, or similar implements that are driven with PTO shafts.
Attention!
The front power system should not be charged with downward pressure via
the tractor's hydraulic system! For implements that contact the ground or
roll on the ground in operation, the tractor hydraulic system must be
switched to the float setting! Strictly comply with the manufacturer's recommendation!
The front power system is not suitable for lifting people or for use as a work
platform!
In addition, compliance with the service and maintenance guidelines is a component of
intended use. Moreover intended use includes exclusive use of original spare parts and
supplemental equipment, or use of such parts and equipment that meet the technical requirements specified by the manufacturer.
All other uses are excluded.
Non-intended use causes:
Health hazards for the operator or for third parties
Damage to the tractor and the implements
Immediate invalidation of the guarantee
Environmental damage
To avoid accidents and to reduce the risk of accidents, the relevant accident prevention
regulations and the other generally acknowledged occupational health and safety and
road traffic regulations apply without limitation.
Changes to the front power system and/or the associated accessories invalidate the
guarantee and exclude any liability on the part of the manufacturer for damage due to the
changes.

3 Installation
Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key.
Enter the vehicle chassis number of the front power system in section 6 of
this operating manual.
3.1 Installation of the front power system
Start the installation by fitting the two-piece attachment bracket on the front on the tractor
frame. The attachment bracket is fastened on the tractor frame on the front and side with
the bolts included in the scope of delivery.
Fig. 1: Attachment bracket
The actual front power system is only hooked into the provided aperture on the attachment bracket with the cross-member of the front power system and locked with the two
angle bolts (left/right) on the lugs. The arrest nuts on the lugs can be omitted for faster
dismounting (e.g. frontloader). However this can result in higher noise levels.
Connect the hydraulic lines of the front power system to the hydraulic lines available on
the tractor side (lift, lower). Use cable ties to fix the hydraulic hoses in place along the
length of the tractor frame.

3.2 Installation of the front PTO shaft (drive shaft tube)
For installation of the front PTO shaft, pre-assemble the drive shaft with the drive shaft
holder and the protective pot. Then pull out the arrest bar (included in the scope of delivery of the attachment bracket) and slide the pre-assembled drive shaft holder into the attachment bracket.

3.3.2 Installation of the universal joint shaft
Comply with the instructions in the operating manual provided by the manufacturer of the universal joint shaft.
Mount the universal joint shaft as described in the original manual provided
by the manufacturer of the universal joint shaft.
Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key before mounting or dismounting the front PTO shaft.
1. Insert the universal joint shaft through the protective tube and press the locking pin
(locking ring) on the outer fork. Keep the locking pin depressed.
2. Slide the outer fork onto the profile stub of the mid-mount PTO shaft of the tractor
and release the locking pin (locking ring).
3. Slightly move the universal joint shaft back and forth until the locking pin audibly
locks in place.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to attach the universal joint shaft on the front drive shaft tube.
5. Fix the front protective tube on the front protective tube holder with screws and with
the rubber strap on the rear.
3.4 Mounting the rear hydraulic extension kit
Mount the holder with the connection plugs on the front of the front power system (tapped
bores are present) and lay out the hydraulic hoses along the tractor frame and connect
them to the connections available on the tractor side.

4 Operation
Before starting up the implement, read the instructions on safety and handling for operation of the entire implement and connection to the tractor. In
addition, prior to start-up you must ensure that the vehicle meets the requirements specified in the German Road Traffic Vehicle Licensing Act.
The front power system should only be placed in service if all safety devices
are attached and fully functional. Prior to starting work the operator must
familiarize himself with the device and ensure for himself that the entire device is operationally reliable.
Moving objects and fixtures, (ropes, chains, linkage, etc.) must be adequately secured before transport or driving on public roads to exclude the danger
of accident or hazards to third persons.

Grease the bearing on the PTO shaft drive.
Grease the lowering safeguard.
Grease the arrest bolt.
Check the seat, status and seal of the hydraulic lines
Before and after each use, check all threaded unions for firm seat and re-tighten them if
necessary.
Repairs on parts that are under tension (springs, pressure accumulators)
require adequate skills and prescribed tools, and should only be performed
by specialists.
Replace any worn or no longer functioning protective device!
Only use original matev spare parts.
Repair
Page 16
5.3 Maintaining the hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Escaping fluids (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause severe injuries.
