To couple the hydraulic cylinder hoses (D) to the tractor remote control couplers, shut
down the tractor engine, relieve the control valve pressure by activating the lever a couple
of times and check if the quick couplers are clean.
Before starting the subsoiling job, inspect the plow and retighten all bolts and nuts;
also check the conditions of all pins and cotter pins to avoid future damages. Repeat this
operation after the first day of work.
The tractor drawbar must remain fixed and centralized.
It is really important to check the tires inflation and to keep the same pressure on both
of them.
Before connecting the equipment hoses to the tractor, check if the hose is pressurized.
If the answer is positive, the operator will not be able to connect the male part to the female
one - and forcing this operation may lead to severe damages to the eye and skin as the
fluid may escape. To remove the pressure on the tip of the hose, press the male coupling
against a non-metallic surface to move the retention valve, until there is no oil leakage
anymore.
Activate the control valve lever and check for any leaks on the terminals and on the
quick couplers.
To transport the equipment, it is necessary to use the transport locks which are coupled
to the hydraulic cylinder rods. When they are not being used, the safety locks must remain
fixed to the equipment on their appropriate place.
