Preparing the headstock

 
Criteria for selecting the top link coupling point
1

Top elongated slot: large lifting height, high lifting force requirement. On some tractors, the lifting gear kinematics limit the maximum lifting height.

2

Round hole: heavy soils, medium lifting force requirement.

3

Bottom elongated slot: small lifting height, low lifting force requirement.

  1. Put the ball sleeve on the lower link pin.
NOTE

Use a ball sleeve without integrated catch profile.

  1. Put the catch profile on the lower link pin and secure it.
  2. Insert the top link pin with the ball sleeve in the mount.
  3. Secure the top link pin with the linch pin.
