g) Plug in the electrical connector; check that the lights and the turning signals are functioning
properly.
h) With the tractor’s hydraulic 3-point lift, posi-
tion the Girodyne head in order to set the
hitch pins at a distance of 700 mm/ 2’4"
from the ground.
Hook one end of the check chains (3) to
the hitch brackets (2) by means of shack-
les and attach the other side to the trac-
tor’s top link yoke by means of the top link
hitch pin.
Lower the 3-point lift.
The attachment is correct when the underside face
(I)
of the tongue is approximately hori-
zontal and the lower hitch pins are at a distance (H) of around 600 mm / 23" from the ground
when the check chains (3) are taut.
Unhooking from the Gyrodine hitch:
- Always park the machine on level ground.
- Lock the tongue in the transport position, lower the header.
- Fully raise the tractor lower links.
Warning : To avoid serious injury or death, stop tractor engine, disengage
the PTO, shift to “park” position or shift to neutral and set brakes :
- Pull out lock handle (1) that secures parking stand in the horizontal position (the parking stand
lowers on its own).
- Move the lower end of the parking stand back and forth, so it automatically locks into the
vertical parking position.
- Lower the tractor lower links until yokes (2)
are relieved of the tongue weight.
- Block the wheels with chocks if the area is
not even and level.
- Uncouple the tractor lift arms, the check
chains, hydraulic hoses, and the PTO shaft.
- Lower the PTO support arm and store the
PTO in the hook. The PTO shaft must not
be in contact with the ground, thus avoid-
ing damage, due to dust and dirt. The
tongue contains also a holder, which pro-
vides effective protection to the hydraulic
quick couplers.
