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.
