Coupling the machinery
Increased risk of injury
When coupling the machine to the tractor, there is an increased risk of
injury. Therefore:
•
Secure the tractor in such a way that it cannot roll forwards or back-
wards
•
The tractor and machine must belong to the same category
•
Never stand between the tractor and the machine during coupling
•
Actuate the three-point power lift system slowly and carefully
Nonobservance can lead to serious or fatal injury.
Coupling the ma-
chine
The machine is factory-equipped for mounting with a three-point linka-
ge.
> Slide suitable catch pans on the lower link arms of the machine for
the tractor and secure with linchpins
> Couple the machine and raise slightly by means of the lower links
> Slide up support legs and secure with bolt. Secure bolt with cotter
pin.
> Adjust the top link so that the frame is parallel to the ground in the
working position and the three-point block is vertical
> Adjust the lower link so that the machine has little play to the left or
right
Never adjust the depth of the machine via the lower link, but rather at
each individual sowing unit.
