Installation
3 Installation
For all the installation tasks cited below, we recommend that you drive the tractor onto a lift platform. If you only lift the tractor, ensure that you jack up the tractor on firm ground and safeguard it from slipping off.
3.1 Installation - front lift and drive kit
1. If you have also ordered the drive kit, then it is already pre-installed on the front lift. If you ordered the parts separately, then you must first install the Cardan joint in the front lift and secure it with the provided circlip, i.e. you must mount the gearbox and the belt tensioning unit on the attachment bracket.
