3. Horsepower/3-Point Hitch:
Each Arena-vatorIII model is designed
to be used on a tractor of a certain
horsepower range and 3-point hitch
size as speci fi ed in Table 1. Do not
exceed the recommended horsepower
range to prevent overloading the
structural components. Always use the
appropriate sized mounting pins when
hooking up to a tractor.
4. Before going to the working area re-
view Section 4.6 Transporting.
5. Drive to the working area and stop in a
level area.
6. Position the machine about 2" above
the ground. Be sure the roller is off the
ground.
7. Set the Machine:
a. Level the Frame:
Use the screw jack on the right lift
arm to level the frame from side-to-
side.
b. Frame Angle:
Use the turnbuckle on the top link
to set the frame angle. Start by
using the top link to set the frame
level with the ground. Then, ex-
tend the top link by turning the
turnbuckle another full turn. This
will lower the roller and allow the
frame to follow the contours of the
ground through the movable mast
bracket during operation.
c. 3-Point Hitch:
Set the 3-point hitch on the tractor
into the " fl oat" mode to allow the
frame/machine to follow the con-
tour of the ground. This will allow
all components to work the soil
evenly.
