Important Notes
CORRECT SET-UP OF ‘FLOATING TOP LINK’ SLOT / CONNECTION TO TRACTOR:
1) Once the machine is connected to the tractor, set the tractor and machine down
on flat ground (preferably concrete)
2) Lift the lower link arms slightly to just take the weight of the front of the machine
(i.e. the front of the skids would be 5mm off the ground). If machine fitted with
front wheels or rollers these should be set to just run on the ground.
3) Set the lower link draft arms of the tractor at this position so they cannot go lower
than this, and ensure they can float. (I.e. not fixed)
