Transport Position
Before raising the machine wait until the transmission and the blades are completely still.
During the transport of the machine it is recommended that the PTO shaft is disconnected.
1. Check machine is hitched to the tractor as described. Ensure the tractor parking brake is applied
2. Ensure moving parts become still then transform the machine into transport position by hydraulic control
3. During the transport and any time the machine shall be raised, the raising device shall be adjusted to assure that the
machine is at least 250mm over the ground.
Attaching the machine to the Tractor
Always operate on level ground when attaching/detaching the machine. This will prevent dangerous movement.
Never allow anyone to stand between the tractor and the machine.
Three Point Linkage Models
1. Adjust both lift arms of the tractor until they are level in relation to each other.
2. Hitch the lower linkage arms to the Machine and connect the top link and PTO shaft. Ensure that the locking pins are
secure.
3. With the Machine lowered in its operating position, adjust the top link until the strap is slack, allowing the Machine to
produce a uniform finish in varying ground conditions.
4. Connect the PTO shaft. Check for the length
Trailed Models
1. Adjust the tractor hitch pin so that the hitch pin is approximately 400 mm (16”) from the end of the tractor PTO shaft.
2. Adjust the machine hitch eye to suit the tractor drawbar height paying particular attention to keep both height adjusting
bolts as far as possible on the adjusting bracket. Careful adjustment of the hitch eye height at this stage is
necessary in order to allow the machine to function safely and correctly.
3. Connect the machine to the tractor. Ensure no one is standing between the tractor and the Machine.
4. Before connecting the PTO shaft to the tractor, check it for length as shown earlier.
Starting Regulations
Always check that any imminently dangerous conditions have been eliminated before using the machine.
Ensure all guarding is present & the operator is fully aware of the operations of the machine.
Always ensure the pins lock the PTO shaft yoke ends onto the spline shafts on both the tractor and the
implement. An unlocked shaft could slip out of position, causing notable mechanical damage and serious
injury to both operator and bystanders.
