DCF-CO 65
ƒ
Operations
01 - Adjust the tractor according to the content of the instruction manual, always using front
and rear weights to stabilize the equipment.
02 - Always couple to the tractor in low gear and very carefully.
03 - Check that the DCF-CO coupling is complete and leveled. Place the support bracket in
the transport position and maintain the drawbar of the tractor fastened.
04 - After hitching, the next adjustments will be made directly in the field of work, analyzing the
terrain for its texture, humidity, and types of operations to be performed with the DCF-CO .
05 - Observe the working and transport speeds specifield on page 10. We do not recommend
exceeding speeds to maintain service efficiency and avoid damage to the DCF-CO .
06 - During work or transport, the tractor’s drawbar must remain fastened.
07 - Never transport or work with an overloaded
DCF-CO.
08 - Before starting work, do a thorough review in the DCF-CO . Crossheads should be lubrificated,
check the oil level of the multiplier box and retighten nuts and screws. Also check the locking
of pins and cotters.
09 - The ideal rotation is 540 rpm in TDP. Check the corresponding rotation on the engine, in
the tractor manual. This traction engine rotation changes from tractor to tractor.
10 - Always observe the operation of the limestone distributing mechanisms and the settings
established at the start of the work as well.
11 - When performing any maintenance in the DCF-CO , its engine must be switched off.
12 - Check the conveyor and transmission belt tension.
13 -
Do not make sharp turns with the
DCF-CO
during work.
14 - The DCF-CO has several settings, but only local conditions can determine the best setting.
15 - Check the correct tire calibration of the DCF-CO according to tire model on page 74.
16 - Before fueling the DCF-CO , check that there are no objects inside the trolley, such as
sticks, stones, sack, canvas, parts, etc. Make sure the product you are using does not
contain foreign objects.
17 - Observe the lubrification interval.
18 - During the whole work, maintain the engine at constant rotation, avoiding an average
speed variation in the tractor to prevent inefficiency or product distribution failure.
19 - The distance between strokes should be constant so that the distibution uniformity is
not compromised.
