2.3 SAFETY
REMEMBER SAFETY FIRST
Operator must read the instruction manual before operating the cultivator. Do
not allow anyone to operate this equipment who has not fully read and
comprehended this manual and who has not been properly trained in the safe
operation of the equipment.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
All equipment is potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a safety
conscious operator who recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable
safety practices.
2.
Personal protection equipment including safety glasses, safety shoes, and
gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment,
maintaining, repairing, removal or moving the implement.
3.
Never place yourself between the tractor and implement while implement is in
operation.
4.
Do not work under a raised implement unless it is securely blocked or held in
position. Do not depend on the tractor hydraulic system to hold the implement in
place.
5.
A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor. Use extreme care during travel.
Slow down on turns and watch out for bumps. The tractor may need front counter-
weights to counter-balance the weight of the implement.
6.
Do not allow others to ride on the tractor with an operator. Riders are subject to
injury such as being struck by foreign objects or being thrown off. Riders
obstruct
the operator’s view resulting in unsafe operation. Never allow anyone
to ride on the implement!
7.
Do not allow anyone who is not familiar with the safety rules and operation
instructions to use this implement.
8.
Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when working with equipment.
9.
Always be sure the implement is in the fully raised position when in transport.
10. When removing or adjusting equipment, be sure that your feet are never under the
implement.
11. Avoid excessive speed during operation.
12. Before you operate the field cultivator, check over all pins, bolts and connections
to be sure that all are securely in place. Replace any damaged or worn parts
immediately.
13. Make implement adjustments only when the implement is attached to the tractor.
14. Watch for and avoid hidden obstructions, i.e. buried pipes, rocks, uneven
concrete slabs, stumps etc., when operating equipment.
Danger:
In operating position the top link must
be higher on the machine side than on
the tractor side!
2. USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 BEFORE USE & ADJUSTMENTS
Before mounting of cultivator make sure that all nuts & bolts are properly secured.
Also determine soil and trash conditions of the field and make the preliminary
adjustments. e.g.
Tyne leveling
To eliminate uneven working and side draft, leveling is done by means of top link.
Depth control
The depth at which the implement is required to work is controlled hydraulically by
raising or lowering the control lever on the tractor.
2.2 ATTACHING THE CULTIVATOR/TILLER TO THE TRACTOR
1. Place the cultivator duly leveled on the flat piece of land.
2. Reverse the tractor to the cultivator ( Do not drag the cultivator/tiller up the
tractor)
3. Attach the left arm of the tractor to the cultivator/tiller first.
4. Attach the central arm to the cultivator/tiller. To attach, turn the screws on both
sides to an equal length. If the arm is too short or too long, turn the screw to
adjust both at the same time until aligned with the hole on the central arm.
5. Attach the lower right arm, turn the screw until the mounting pin is at the same
level as the hole on the tractor arm. If the gap between the hole and mounting
pin is too close or too distant, turn the control arm in or pull it away to an
appropriate distance. You may have to adjust both height and distance at the
same time. When the hole at tractor arm and mounting pin are even, insert the
pin in the hole and lock it with the lynch pin.
6. After attaching the cultivator/tiller, lift it and adjust the control arm parallel to
the ground. When you look from both rear or sideways, all shovel should be
touching the ground uniformly.
