First Use
DANGER!
Connecting the Mulcher to the agricultural tractor is a very dangerous phase. Ensure you
carry out the entire operation in strict compliance with the instructions.
The Mulcher features a gearbox
with a 1” 3/8 spline power take-off that can be adapted to any agricultural tractor
PTO with an input PTO shaft.
Upon the first installation, simply remove the machine from the packaging and set it up correctly.
The installation, adjustment and testing of the Mulcher involve hazardous operations. Carefully read all the
instructions described in this manual. If in doubt, contact the Manufacturer directly.
In any case, before commissioning the Mulcher, immediately after transport, check that the supply is intact and
complete. The Mulcher can be installed and subsequently removed from the agricultural tractor according to the
requirements of the user.
DANGER!
Spearhead cannot be held liable for damage to persons, animals or property, caused by
noncompliance with the safety and accident prevention regulations or operations which do not conform
to the information provided in the user and installation instructions.
3.2.1
Prior To Installation
Before installing the Mulcher, it is advisable to check the suitability, good condition and adjustment of the
agricultural tractor on which it will be installed:
•
Begin by first checking the power in kW or hp and the minimum mass required of the agricultural tractor.
They must match the minimum characteristics stipulated by the Manufacturer of the Mulcher, which are
indicated in this manual in the "1.4. Technical Data" paragraph;
•
Move the tractor to the place where the Mulcher was deposited after being transported and stop it in a
safe and practical position for assembly to be performed on level ground;
•
Lift the Mulcher with a lifting device of adequate capacity and move the machine near the rear part of
the tractor, in line with the three-point hitch support. Move the tractor in reverse to attach the equipment
to it;
WARNING!
Due to the danger of this operation, it must be performed by expert and responsible
personnel. Do not touch the Mulcher and do not stop within the operating range of the lifting device.
3.2.2
Application To The Tractor
WARNING!
Clean and clear the installation area from any obstruction before starting to work. The area
must be specifically closed off and personnel not assigned to the works must be made to move away.
The available means must be verified to be intact and suitable. The operator must also tighten all the
bolts and fittings properly, using suitable tools.
DANGER!
All the following assembly and installation operations must be carried out with the tractor
engine switched off.
The application of the Mulcher
to the tractor must take place on flat ground. All the Mulchers are applicable to
