tractor. Slide beam 16 between the two plates 21 and check whether a hole 24 lines up. If yes fit BOTH
bolts 22 and tighten them with nut 19. If not, lower or raise the machine a little till the first hole matches.
When BOTH bolts 22 are secured, lower the 3-point activating lever inside the tractor to the lowest
position. The machine fixed to the tractor at the correct position.
The bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder can be mounted to beam 15, using as a start hole 17. Use a bolt
23 and nut 19A. Do NOT tighten the nut tight. At the rod side the hydraulic cylinder can be connected to
one of the holes 32 of plate 31. Use pin 33 with two distance bushes 36 at each side of the rod end.
Basically the unit is ready for use, BUT READ FIRST the important notes here under.
IMPORTANT NOTES.
-
Be very careful the first time of use. Check whether the hydraulic cylinder does not hit the machine
and/or the central beam 15/22 gets stuck.
-
If the side stabilization of the bottom links is not set tight and in the center, serious damage may
occur.
-
Choose the correct hole 32. The starting point is that the machine has to be horizontal when the
hydraulic cylinder is fully out. Do not overturn the machine any further. Damage may occur,
specially when a rear roller is fitted. Check this in the field, when the machine is pushed in the
ground.
-
When the hydraulic cylinder is fully in, the machine is raised from the ground.
-
Check the clearances of the hydraulic cylinder carefully when fully out, carefully. If not enough
clearance is available (specially with small tractors), the hydraulic cylinder bottom end may be
moved up towards hole 18. If still not enough space is available, drop the starting height A from 300
to 250mm(10”)
-
Height A from 300 to 250mm (10”).
-
When a rear roller is fitted, it should be in the free float position all the time Never secure the rear
roller for a certain working depth.
-
Disconnecting the weight transfer kit goes the other way round.
-
If next time another tractor is used, the procedure should be started again. If not, the standard set
main secure beam can stay at the same length.
SAFETY ITEMS.
•
Never crawl under the machine.
•
Be careful in assembling the different items. Do not stand between the machine and tractor.
•
Since the machine tips forwards, sharp knifes/ tines are accessible from the rear. So for that
reason, the weight transfer has to be removed and exchanged for a normal toplink, after
the job is done. Only when a rear roller is assembled, the machine is protected well enough
from the rear.
•
The pressure setting of valve 7 has to be carefully set, so that the tractor’s rear wheels are
NOT lifted from the ground. If not done, dangerous situations may occur. This setting, via
screwing bolt 6 in or out, has to be repeated when another tractor is used.
•
Be aware of high oil pressure. Do not touch any leakages by hand. Also be aware of pressure
build up during work in the hydraulic cylinder.
•
NEVER touch the 3- point activating lever inside the tractor. It should stay in the
lowest position ALL the time. Serious damage to tractor and machine may occur when the lever
is moved.
•
Maximum oil pressure allowed on the system is 180 bar (2500psi)
