ADJUSTING THE TRACK
( fi gure 2)
•
The sprayer is supplied in the middle position. To change to another position:
- Undo the bolts (3) on the shaft beam, then adjust by pulling or pushing the stub axle so as to obtain the
required width.
- After every adjustment, make sure the wheels are symmetrical with respect to the centre line of the sprayer
and do not exceed the overall dimensions according to the mounting of tires in the table of page 6.
COUPLING THE SPRAYER TO THE TRACTOR
(See manual No. 82.471 )
•
Hitch the equipment to tractor using the hole bar (4) ( fi gure 3).
This harnessing system, alone, permits:
- Height adjustment (h).
- Swivelling of harnessing joint in both axes.
- Correct function of harnessing shaft.
•
Cut down the PTO shaft.
To do this, consult and comply with the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure the two half-shafts are
of equal length.
•
Advice when cutting PTO shafts, if this is necessary:
- Use a hacksaw and not a disc grinder (this may adversely deteriorate the plastic coating).
- Carefully remove burrs from cut ends.
- Heavily grease the tubes.
•
IMPORTANT ( fi gure 3):
- Minimum interlo cking distance: 25 to 30 cm when the tractor and the equipment are in line.
- Maximum interlocking distance: the tubes must not be in contact.
- Make sure there is play of at least 10 cm in the minimum turning position.
- For a normal transmission, do not exceed the maximum angle of 5 degrees plus or minus to the pump’s
horizontal axis.
- For an angle greater than 5 degrees, preferably choose a homokinetic PTO shaft.
