Adjustments and operations
• Retighten nuts and bolts after the first day of work and check the conditions
of all pins and cotter pins. Then, retighten every 24 operating hours.
• Special attention should be given to the disc gangs, retightening daily during
the first week of use. Then, retighten periodically.
• Carefully observe the lubrication intervals. (See lubrication instructions on
pages 32 and 33).
• Choose a gear that allows the tractor to maintain certain power reserve,
ensuring against unforeseen efforts.
• The correct tire inflation is important and all tires must have the same
pressure; 6.00 x 16 tires
(45 PSI).
• During working or transportation, the presence of passengers on the tractor
or equipment is not allowed.
• Speed is relative to the tractor gear and can only be determined by local
conditions. We adopted an average 5 to 7 km/h, which is not advisable to
overcome to maintain service efficiency and avoid possible damages to the
equipment.
• The maneuvers must be done on the left hand side (harrow closed side),
where the disc gangs are closer.
• The harrowed soil should always stay on the left hand side of the operator.
• Remove pieces of wood or any object that may attach in the disc blades.
• The traction bar of the tractor normally oscillates during working.
• The harrow activation to open or close the gangs must be done gradually,
being the tractor moving.
• Do not check possible leaks with your bare hands, because the high pressure
can cause body injury. Use cardboard or other suitable object.
• Relieve the control valve pressure before disconnecting the quick couplers.
• As previously mentioned, the GAIM disk harrow has several settings.
However, only the local conditions can determine the best adjustment
thereof.
