Connecting the tedder to a tractor
The tedder can be aggregated with the tractor of power not higher than 35hpm, which is equipped
with a hitch. The aggregating of the tedder with the tractor should be performed on hard and even
ground.
Before commencing the aggregation of the tedder, familiarize yourself with the
instruction manual. Additionally, always pay particular attention to maintaining the
safety during aggregating the machine with the tractor!
Activities which should be performed to connect the tedder:
•
drive up to the tedder,
•
on the reverse gear, slowly reverse to the tedder hitch paying particular attention that nobody
is staying between the machine and the tractor and in the immediate surrounding of the
machine,
•
when reversing, approach with the hitch as close as possible to the tedder hitch,
•
stop the tractor and secure before free movement,
•
connect the machine hitch to the tractor hitch with help of the bolt,
•
lift the support foot and secure it in the right position (along the hitch arms),
•
connect the PTO shaft to the tractor not forgetting to connect it with the tractor with the right
side (see the detailed instruction attached to the shaft),
•
connect hydraulic conduits of the machine to tractor hydraulic sockets.
