4.0 ATTACHING / DETACHING THE VERTI-CUT
Checking procedure before starting to attach the Verti-Cut:
Check the Verti-Cut for visually discernable damage and repair this
if safe operation of the machine is no longer guaranteed.
Check whether all the nuts and bolts are tight.
Check whether all protection caps and all safety stickers are
present on the machine and are not damaged.
NEVER
use the machine without these items.
Figure 7
The Verti-Cut can be attached to the tractor by means of the 3-point attachment.
The procedure is as follows
(see Figure 7)
:
1. Drive the tractor carefully backwards so that the lower connecting arms can be
attached to the frame.
Make sure that the tractor is blocked well and cannot move on its own
accord!
Switch off the tractor before descending!
2. Connect the lower connecting arms to the 3-point pins (1) and secure these with
the supplied locking pins.
3. Set the stabilizer of the tractor to 100mm lateral stroke.
4. Connect the top rod (2) to the frame with the pin (3); secure the pin (3) with the
supplied locking pin.
Make sure that all the securing pins are locked!
5. Turn the top rod (3) inwards so that it becomes pressurized.
6. Connect the PTO between the Verti-Cut and the tractor.
7. Start the tractor and lift the Verti-Cut off the subsoil.
8. Slide the adjustable legs (4) upwards and secure these with the locking pin(s).
Detaching is done in reverse order.
