A 4-point mount (option) can be fitted to the front power lift.
The corresponding attachments can be attached to this.
Certain attachments can also be directly attached to the
front power lift.
ATTENTION
Risk of injury and damage
Ensure that the permissible axle load is not exceeded
when fitting attachments to the front power lift.
You are not permitted to operate the front power lift when
persons are in the vicinity of the front power lift and fitted
attachments.
Ensure that attachments fitted to the front power lift do not
touch or damage the vehicle.

8.5.1 Setting the front power lift lowering speed

"Increase lowering speed" rotation direction
1
"Decrease lowering speed" rotation direction
2
Turning in rotation direction 2 all the way to the limit stop
locks the front power lift.
1. Switch off the PTO.
2. Select the front power lift lowering speed using the rota-
ry knob.
8.5.2 Attachment release and vibration dampening
(optional)
Attachment release is used in order to move the load from
one attachment fitted on the front power lift towards the ve-
hicle's front axle.
For example: If a mower deck is being used, the forces in
the ground are reduced by the mower deck in order to re-
duce damage to the ground due to the wheels spinning;
especially when driving uphill.
Note
74
If the attachment is raised whilst the attachment release
system is switched on, it will act like a load stabilisation
system when driving.
Vibration dampening (optional) ensures a more comforta-
ble and more stable drive during transport journeys with a
raised attachment on the front power lift.
