SECTION 2 - OPERATION

2-97

EXTERNAL 3-POINT HITCH CONTROLS

WARNING

Do not stand on or near the implement or

between the implement and tractor when

operating the external 3-point hitch lift controls.

An external, push button switch, 1, is provided on

each rear fender. The switches are spring-loaded to

return to the off position.

CAUTION

Operator must stand in one of the hatched areas,

2, when activating an external switch.

Before leaving the tractor to operate the external

switches:

1. Apply the parking brake.
NOTE: The external switches only function with the

parking brake applied.

2. Move the powershift control lever to neutral.
3. Disengage the PTO.
4. Move the hand throttle lever to the low idle

position (fully rearwards).

5. Exit the cab and push the raise end, 1, or lower

end, 2, of the external switch. This will transfer

control of the hydraulic power lift to the rear

fenders switches. The lift disabled symbol will be

displayed and the hitch status light will be

illuminated continually.
Only activate the external switches while

standing to the side of the tractor as shown at 2,

Figure 140.
Pressing the upper part of the switch, 1, causes

the lift linkage to raise. Pressing the lower part,

2, causes the linkage to lower. When the lower

links align with the implement, release the switch

and attach the implement to the three-point

linkage in the normal manner.

NOTE: Operation of the fender switches causes the

hitch to move at a slower controlled rate.
