CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION
Always make sure that nobody is standing between
the tractor and the machine during connection and
disconnection. An unintentional manoeuvre with the
tractor may cause serious injury (see Fig. 1-2).
When disconnecting it is important that the ground is
even and stable so that the machine does not move
and injure persons or cause damage to other
equipment.
The same precautions must be taken when connecting/disconnecting trailers by
means of the hydraulic hitch at the rear of the forage harvester.
Check that the machine is intended for the number and the direction of rotation of the
tractor PTO. A wrong number of rotations over a long period may damage the
machine and at worst result in ejection of parts through the delivery chute.
Make sure that the PTO drive shaft has been mounted correctly, i.e. that the lock pin
is in mesh and that the support chain has been fastened at both ends.
The PTO drive shaft must be correctly protected. If the guard is damaged it must be
replaced immediately.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the trailer with the hydraulic hitch, always:
- Disengage the PTO from the tractor.
- Wait until all moving parts have stopped.
Check that all hydraulic couplings are tight and that all hoses and fittings are
undamaged before activating the hydraulic system.
Make sure that there is no pressure in the hydraulic hoses when these are
disconnected from the tractor.
Hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin
and cause serious infections. You should always
protect the skin and the eyes against oil splashes.
(see figure 1-3). If, by accident, hydraulic oil under
pressure hits you, consult a doctor immediately.
