12. Place the machine with the frontroller on the ground at the required working depth
and adjust the angle of the machine to 90 degrees by turning the top link (4).
This 90 degree angle is very important for the correct operation of the machine.
13. Set the stabilizer of the tractor to 100 mm lateral movement.
14. Assemble the tines. Use a little grease on the post.

4.0 THE PTO
The PTO is a very important component. It provides the transmission from the tractor and, if
correctly maintained and installed, will ensure a safe utilisation of the machine. The PTO has
its own CE certification. Read the PTO manual; it is located on the PTO itself.
Fig. 9
4.1 LENGTH OF THE PTO
The length of the PTO is very important. When it is too long, the transmission of the tractor
and /or the Verti-Drain
®
can become damaged. When, at any given moment, the overlapping
length of the tubes becomes less than 150 mm (6”) the PTO can become damaged.
The length changes when the machine is lifted or when a different tractor is used.
