TRANSPORT OF PLANT RESIDUE SHREDDER – MULCHER
DANGER:
If the mulcher is transported on public roads, it is mandatory to secure it for safe driving,
and observe the rules of conduct in public transport. The tool must be at least 40 cm above
the ground level.
If the mulcher is transported by truck or rail, one should read “SPECIFICATION OF TECHNICAL
CHARACTERISTICS” presenting the weights and dimensions.
PROCEDURE OF AGGREGATING ON THE TRACTOR
WORK BEFORE USE
ATTENTION:
Connecting the mulcher on the tractor can be very dangerous operation.
Pay special attention and strictly observe the provided instructions.
Do the following:

Use a tractor whose configuration can meet the needs of plant residue shredder.

Make sure there are no objects, people or animals in the vicinity of the tool, and that the drive shaft of the
tractor is turned off.

Make sure that the tool is in stable, horizontal position.

Slowly place the tractor at an angle of 90º relative to the tool, use the hydraulic arm to lower the bottom
tractor lever to the height of the connecting points’ axle of the mulcher, and turn off the tractor.
IMPORTANT: If the tractor is in wrong position, it is considerably easier to again move the tractor back
and forth rather than trying to personally move the tool to the tractor’s levers.

Install the cardan shaft, first in the tubed shaft on the tool, and the other end to the output shaft of the tractor.
Secure the shaft with the existing protectors in that position.

When the cardan shaft is maximally extended in operating conditions, the telescopic tubes must be
overlapped by at least 1/3 of the length (A on Figurer 4).

When the cardan shaft is maximally retracted there must be a space of 4 cm (B, Figure 4).
Figure 4 Figure 5

Hook the bottom left tractor lever to the left sleeve of the tool, and secure it with the existing protectors.

Hook the bottom right tractor lever to the right sleeve of the tool, and secure it with the existing protectors

Fix the left and right tractor lever with proper chains to make them parallel with the tractor. This is done to
limit the laterally swinging of the tool from 5 to 10 cm.

Then, from the tractor seat, with the hydraulics control handle in the lower position on the quadrant, slowly
move the tractor forward or backward until it has access to fastening the front end of the upper tractor lever
(toplink) for the tractor and secure in this position with the existing protectors.

When you hooked the tool to the tractor, it is necessary to bring the upper part of the tool into the horizontal
position, i.e. to make it parallel with the ground. This is done by shortening or lengthening of the upper
tractor lever (toplink).
