WARNING!
Coupling of the tractor with the subsoiler must be carried out carefully,
at the tractor’s
minimum speed! When hooking up the machine, make sure there are no bystanders too close.
Before leaving for the field via a public road, a warning sign must be attached to the
subsoiler or the co-operating machine, for transport on public roads.
The subsoiler can be operated at the speed of 8 km/h.
WARNING!
Failure to keep to the above speed may result in a malfunction or accident.
When properly hooked up, the subsoiler should, while working, move evenly behind the
tractor and uniformly loosen the soil over its entire working width. The subsoiler
’s frame
should be horizontal to the field
’s surface (by adjusting the upper rod of the tractor).
The hydraulics of the tractor should be set for position adjustment, but under unfavourable
conditions one may use powered adjustment or mixed adjustment.
