ATTACHING / uNHOOKING
The machine should always be parked on a level, dry area that is free of debris and foreign objects.
Follow this procedure when attaching:
1. Clear the area of bystanders and remove foreign objects from the machine and working area.
2. Make sure there is enough room to back the tractor up to the hitch point.
3. Start the tractor and slowly back it up to the hitch point.
4. Stop the tractor engine, place all controls in neutral, set park brake, and remove ignition key before dismounting.
5. Adjust the length of the drawbar to give the appropriate dimension between the PTO shaft and drawbar pin
hole. (Refer to Tractor Operator’s Manual).
6. Use the clevis on the hitch to level the machine.
7. Use the jack to raise or lower the hitch pole to align with the drawbar.
8. Install the drawbar pin with provisions for a mechanical retainer such as a ‘Klik’ pin. Install the retainer.
9. Attach safety chain between the machine and the tractor drawbar cage.
10. Connect the PTO shaft:
•
Check that the PTO driveline telescopes easily and the shield rotates freely.
•
Attach the driveline to the tractor by retracting the locking pin, slide the yoke over the shaft and push on the yoke
until the lock pin clicks into position. Pull on the yoke to be sure the driveline is locked on the shaft.
11. Connect the hydraulics:
•
Use a clean cloth or paper towel to clean the couplers on the ends of the hoses. Also clean the area
around the couplers on the tractor.
•
Insert the male ends of the couplers into the remote hydraulic ports on the tractor.
•
Be sure that each hydraulic circuit on the machine matches up with the correct set of ports on the tractor.
Be sure to match the system with the desired control lever in the tractor.
12. Connect the wiring harness and scale indicator power cord.
13. Route the hoses and wiring harness along the hitch and secure in position to prevent entanglement with any
moving parts.
14. Raise the implement jack, remove and mount on the upper storage bracket.
15. When unhooking from the tractor, reverse the above procedure.
SHEAR BOLT PROTECTION
Should excessive loads be placed on
the driveline, the shear bolt will rupture.
This is a safety feature; however, do not
depend on this as the maximum load
indicator. The shear bolt is located on
the machine end of the PTO shaft sup-
plied with the machine.
On standard models, the shear bolt sizes
are as follows:
Models 3537, 3540, 3546, and 3555
All of these units are standard with
540 RPM
PTO Operating Speed. The
standard shear bolt size for these is
M12x65mm, GRD 8.8
. If the shear
bolt breaks, it
MuST
be replaced with
the correct bolt specified by the man-
ufacturer.
