Instructions Manual

The Bagger operates coupled to the tractor’s
drawbar. When you couple it, proceed as follows:
Choose a flat and levelled surface, since it makes
the procedure easier and safer.
If it is impossible to perform the coupling on a flat,
leveled surface, you should add shims to the wheels
in order to make the machine stationary.
The hitch (E) can be mounted in three different
height positions. In order to change its height,
remove the four nuts, washers and fixing bolts (F).
Place the hitch in its desired position and fixate it
with the nuts, washers and bolts (F).
TRACTOR COUPLING
1.
Approach the tractor carefully, aligning the
drawbar with the machine hitch. The drawbar
must fit the Bagger’s hitch.
2.
In order to couple the Bagger to the drawbar,
put the hitch pin (B) and lock it with the counter-
pin (C)
3.
After coupling, retract the jack (D), turn it and
put it in the rest position.
IMPORTANT!
After coupling, make sure that the header is
securely locked to the tractor’s drawbar. Always
lock it with a counter-pin (C). The accidental
Bagger uncoupling, when it is being towed,
might result in a serious accident.
CAUTION!
Check if the hitch is securely coupled and if it is not
loose. If necessary, adjust the height of the hitch.
