C. INSTALLATION
C.1 Hay tedder assembly
As already said, the hay tedder is fully
dismantled for delivery to the Customer. The hay
tedder can be assembled quickly and easily
following the relative instructions (at the end of
this manual). Assembly must be performed on a
flat surface prepared especially for the purpose.
The hay tedder, once it has been assembled,
can be installed or hitched to a tractor.
C.2 Preparing the tractor
The hay tedder can be attached to any tractor
having a drawbar that conforms to ASAE-SAE
standards of 330 to 559 mm (13 to 22 in.)
(
fig.12 - A ) from the ground.
C.3 Hitching to the tractor
The operator must move the hay tedder slowly to
a position where the joints can be easily aligned
(
fig.13-3.1 ).
IMPORTANT
The holes in the tractor attachment must be
aligned with those on the hay tedder attachment
with maximum care and attention.
When the tractor is near the hay tedder coupling
point, an operator on ground, manually raises or
lowers the hay tedder coupling point in order to
make it horizontally coincide with the tractor.
After the coupling, the operator inserts the
locking pin (
3.2 ) in the corresponding holes of
coupling point, as shown in the figure, and then
secures it with the safety pin (
3.3 ).
C.4 Cardan shaft adaptation and installation

Installation: follow thoroughly the installation
instructions reported on its own use and
maintenance manual.
IMPORTANT
Before installing the cardan shaft make certain
that it suits the requirements concerning the
type and the power to be transmitted
depending on the tractor’s PTO speed. If
necessary also check the tractor’s user
manual.
When not utilized, i.e. when not attached to
the tractor PTO but only to the hay tedder,
place the shaft on the support provided for
this purpose on towing hook bar.

Adaptation: the cardan shaft (either
supplied with the equipment or sold
separately as an accessory) is standard
length. It is therefore necessary to adapt it
according to the tractor on which the hay
tedder will be installed. For this operation,
proceed as follows:
