1. Unscrew the hitch.
Installation
Page 7
&
Note!
If you have unscrewed the two screws (see), do not move the tractor until
you have retightened these screws.
On both sides, unscrew the screws marked in
Fig 1: Adapt the cooling line
2. from the front axle. This makes it easier to fasten the base frame onto the tractor.
Attention!
Danger of injury due to falling frame parts.
The base frame weighs approx. 50 kg. It may be necessary to use a jack
when you mount the base frame.
3. On the left side the cooling line must be bent approximately 8-10 mm to the inside
by a specialized company so that the lift shaft does not collide with the line.
Fig 2: Adapt the cooling line
4. Mount the two base frames on the tractor frame hand tight with the aid of the
lower front screw (see arrow).

4.1 Front power lift wi t h front load oper ation
&
Note!
Before the front loader can be used, you must dismount the coupling
triangle and the lift arms.
cat 0: For this version, in addition you must dismount the upper link part.
The front loader can be mounted and operated as described by John Deere.
4.1.1 Coupling and uncoupling implem ents
4.1.1.1 Working with coupling triangle
1. Drive forward with the tractor to the coupling triangle of the implement.
2. Lower the front power lift hydraulically.
3. Drive slowly toward the implement until the coupling triangle of the tractor is under the coupling triangle of the implement.
4. Slowly lift the front power lift until the implement is slightly lifted.
5. Secure the implement with the coupling triangle locking mechanism, this depends
on the type of implement.
4.1.1.2 Working with catch hooks ( only for cat. 1)
1. Open the locking pins of the catch hooks.
2. Drive forward with the tractor to the front implement.
3. Lift the lift arms until the attachment pegs of the front implement are in the catch
hooks.
4. Lock the locking pins of the catch hooks.
5. Connect the upper link to the front attachment.
4.1.2 Lowering safeguard for the front power lift
1. To activate the lowering safeguard, the stop valve on the hydraulic hose must be
pulled up and simultaneously turned 90 degrees to the outside.

position relative to the hydraulic hose.
&
Note!
Use the lowering safeguard when:
- Driving on roads
- Driving between work locations
- For cleaning and maintenance tasks
Operation
Page 25
Attention!
Danger of crushing due to moving parts.
Never reach into the crushing hazard danger area, if parts are still moving
or can move.
Comply w ith the instruction in the operating manual.
3. Affix the provided sticker on the vehicle where it is easily visible in the vicinity of
the stop valve.
Fig 30: Sticker - lowering safeguard

Fig 32: Lowering safeguard closed
Operation
Page 26
Attention!
Damage to the tractor or the implements can occur.
Release the lowering safeguard before activating the hydraulic system of
the front power lift.
4.1.3 Working with and without pendulum compensation
Thanks to the integrated pendulum compensation on the front power lift you can easily
drive on uneven paths, roads or pastures. If you have mounted a front implement
without its own pendulum compensation, use the pendulum compensation of the front
power lift.
For tasks with front implements with their own pendulum compensation the pendulum
compensation in the front power lift must be set so that it is rigid (see Fig 33)
Fig 33: With swing compensation
Fig 34: Without swing compensation
Operation
Page 27
4.2 Adjusting the mower
Attention!
For a correct cut you must set the mower correctly. The important thing
in this regard is that the mower must be lower in the front than it is in the
rear.
&
Note!
See the operating manual from John Deere on information concerning
adjustment of the mower.
The adjustment is executed on the front mower arms in the same manner that it is
executed for the original mower attachment.
4.3 PTO drive s haft
You can switch the front PTO shaft on and off via the PTO shaft switch on the tractor.
Fig 35: Cover PTO shaft stub
Remove the protective cap on the PTO shaft stub before coupling a front implement
that is powered by the PTO shaft.
Fit the protective cap onto the PTO shaft stub, after you have uncoupled the front im-
plement.

5 Maintenance
5.1 General
Attention!
Personal injury or damage to the tractor and the implements can occur.
Before each use of the implements check all safety-relevant parts and the
hydraulic connections.
5.2 Service
After the first 20 hours of operation check all screw and bolt connections. Oil or lubricate all moving parts. Before each use check the hydraulic connections for leaks.
Special instructions:
Front power lif t Activity
Bearing arrangement
- lift arm
– The lift arm is supported in special slide bearing shells. These bear-
ing points do not need to be lubricated, however they do need to be
checked for firm seat. If there is not a proper bearing arrangement
of the lift arm, the bearing shells of the lift arm bearing arrangement
must be replaced.
ATTENTION: All bearing shells must always be completely
replaced!
Pendulum
compensation
– At regular intervals of at least once a month, spray a little mineral
oil into the lift arm pockets. Then move the lift arm up and down
several times.
Lift cylinder – Lubricate the ball bearings at regular intervals, however at least
once a month
