7 – Preparation for use
Before using the machine it is necessary to perform the following controls with the
walking tractor or tractor off and the key off:
- Check that the lubricant is at the indicated level.
- Check the bolts tightening and that all the elements are in perfect conditions.
- Check that the signs security are present and legible.
8 – Working depth adjustment
(*note 6 mod. hi)
The working depth is adjusted by the roller support pin (Fig.6 - Ref.A); choosing a hole on the rod the
working depth can vary from 0 to 14 cm. It is important that while the operator works, lthe machine
leans on its roller.
To transport the machine applied to the walking tractor, use the first hole of the adjustment rod
(maximum extent of leverage); in this way the power harrow will not touch the soil and the roller will
function as a wheel.
In order to prevent the hoes from remaining exposed and to avoid any
dangerous situation during the milling, it is important the the extension
sides (Fig. 6 – Ref. B) are adjusted in such a way that they always touch
the soil; the extension sides adjustment must be made with the walking
tractor or the tractor off and the key off.
9 – Levelling adjustment
The levelling is made with the front shovel (Fig.6 - Ref.C); the scraper is adjusted manually with the
two special screws and depends on the working depth chosen (Fig.6 - Ref.D). For a good levelling
result, be sure that while working there is always earth in front of the scraper.
In order to prevent the hoes from remaining exposed and to avoid any dangerous
situation during the milling, it is important that the scraper is adjusted in a way that it
touches lightly the soil surface.
Adjust the scaper always with the walking tractor or tractor off and the key off.
Wear protective gloves to prevent injury to the skin of the hands.
