3.6.2 A380, A520, A700, A950 and A1230 SMARTMIX with two-speed gearbox
NOTE: For SMARTMIX mixers equipped with cable control for
changing speed, attach the extra V-bracket supplied with
the mixer to the inside of the tractor cab before using it for
the first time.
To test the rotating parts at low speed:
1. Select low speed by putting the speed lever in the position (see Figure 19).
2. If you cannot shift into low speed (the lever does not move all the way), rotate the tractor
PTO, disengage it, and move the lever until the drive shaft almost completely stops rotating.
3. Select the 540 rpm (or 1,000 rpm) PTO on your tractor, then slowly engage it at idle.
4. Accelerate until the PTO reaches the nominal rotation speed.
To test the rotating parts at high speed, follow the same steps with the speed lever in position
(see Figure 19).

Never use the speed lever without first disengaging
the tractor PTO.
