When attaching the cultivator to the tractor's three-point hitch, perform the following
steps:
•
switch the tractor's hydraulic system to position control,
•
remove the lower hitch bolts (in case the tractor linkage is not equipped with
hooks),
•
drive up carefully, suspend the machine from the lower links, then secure,
•
connect the top upper fastener on the tractor. During operation of the unit, the
hitch point of the upper fastener at the unit must be higher than the attachment
point of this fastener at the tractor,
•
check the lifting and lowering of the cultivator and the operation of the hydraulic
system.
Any tractor that is used with the machine must be equipped with a set of weights
and must remain steerable during transport, i.e. a minimum of 20% of the tractor's
weight must be on the front axle.
NOTE! Hitching the tractor to the cultivator must be done carefully, at
minimum tractor speed! When hitching the machine, make sure there are
no bystanders in the vicinity.

Operation and adjustment
4.3.1.
Side arms adjustment
On cultivators with folding side frames, the level adjustment of these frames must be
carried out using the screws built into the front and rear of the mid frame (at each hinge
- Table 3). Properly adjusted side arms should be at the same level as the mid frame. Once
adjusted, secure the screw with a lock nut.
