3.0 RULES OF USE
To obtain the best performance from the equipment, carefully
follow what is set out below.
ATTENTION
The following maintenance, adjustment, and work preparation
operations must be performed with the tractor off and locked
firmly in position with the key removed from the dashboard
and the equipment positioned on the ground.
3.1 ATTACHMENT AND DETACHMENT OF THE EQUIPMENT
3.1.1 ATTACHMENT OF THE EQUIPMENT
DANGER
The attachment to the tractor is a very dangerous phase, for
this reason, it shall be done by one operator only. Be very
careful in following the instructions for the whole operation.
Do not stand on the machine and on the rear wheels. Perform
all operations from the external perimeter of the equipment.
ATTENTION! LOSS OF EQUIPMENT ON THE ROAD AND OF VEHICLE
CONTROL, DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURIES FOR THE DRIVER AND
THE PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY.
Before connecting the equipment to the tractor, and in any
case within 8 hours of continuous use, check the state of wear
and the integrity of the tractor connecting elements and of the
structural elements. The machine cannot be used if anomalies
are noted. Contact your dealer immediately.
The equipment may be attached to any tractor fitted out with a
threepoint universal hitch. The correct position of the tractor/discs
is determined by placing the equipment on a horizontal surface.
1) Hook the lifter bars on the preset pins (1 fig. 7). Block with the
snap split pins.
2) Attach the chains of the tractor lifting bars. Using the tie rods
provided, secure the bars parallel to the tractor. This latter
precaution must be taken to safeguard against the equipment
moving horizontally.
3) Connect the third upper point (2 fig. 7); the pin will be blocked
with the appropriate split pin (3 fig.7); use the adjustment
tie-rod (4 fig.8) to kepp the equipment parallel to the ground.
Connect the third upper point so that the connecting point of
the equipment is higher than that of the tractor (Fig.9), also
during operation.
3.1.2 DETACHMENT OF THE EQUIPMENT
ATTENTION
- Parking the machine is a very dangerous operation, for this
reason, it shall be done by one operator only.
- Be very careful to carry out the whole operation following
the instructions.
- Do not remain in the area of action of the equipment.
- Do not stand on the machine and on the rear rollers. Perform
all of the operations from the outside.
The operation should be carried out on a solid, horizontal surface,
following the instructions given below:
- Lower the tractor lifting unit and rest the equipment on the ground.
- Disconnect the hydraulic pipes from the tractor distributors and
protect the quick couplings with the caps.
- Loosen and unhook the third point, following the first and second.
3.1.3 DRIFT
If, after adjusting the equipment as shown in section 3.1.1 point
3), you feel the presence of a slight side skid of the equipment,
it can be corrected as follows.
If, looking at the equipment from the back it:
- side skids to the right, the first rank of disk sinks deeper into
the ground than the second rank, it is necessary to lengthen the
adjusting tie rod (4 Fig. 8) of the third point, until the machine
works in axis with respect to the center of the tractor.
- side skids to the left, the second rank of discs sinks deeper into
the ground than the first rank, it is necessary to shorten the
adjusting tie rod (4 Fig. 8) of the third point, until the machine
works in axis with respect to the center of the tractor.
