Mounting instructions

The machine can be connected to a tractor with category III linkage only with
category II clearance. Use reducing sleeves.

The bottom and upper link pins must be secured with linch pins or spring clips.

Attach the machine according to the values in the fertiliser chart. This guar-
antees the correct cross-distribution of the fertiliser.

Any oscillating movements during spreading are to be avoided. Make sure
that the machine does not have too much sideways play:
-
The lower link arms of the tractor are to be braced by means of stabilising
struts or chains.
1. Start the tractor.

Check: The PTO shaft is switched off.
2. Move the tractor to the machine.

Do not latch the lower link hooks into place yet.

Make sure there is enough space between the tractor and the machine in
order to be able to connect the drives and control elements.
3. Switch the tractor motor off. Remove the ignition key.
4. Mount the drive shaft to the tractor.

If there is not enough space available, an extendible Tele-Space univer-
sal drive shaft must be used.
5. Connect the electric and hydraulic metering slide actuators and the lighting
(see
7.5: Connecting the metering slide actuator, page 50 ).
6. From the tractor cab, connect the lower link hooks and the upper link to the
designated coupling points; please refer to the operator’s manual of the trac-
tor.
7. Check the tight seat of the machine.
8. Carefully raise the machine to the desired lifting height.
NOTICE
We recommend using bottom link hooks together with a hydraulic upper link for
safety and comfort. See
figure 7.7 .
