Set-up instructions
The following instructions should be carefully observed in order to maintain the best
performance at work.
Preparing the tractor
The addition of water ballasts in the tires and extra counterweights in the front part
or on rear tractor wheels, are the most useful ways to increase the traction in the soil and
get larger stability to the tractor. Check if the tractor is in full conditions before using it.
Preparing the disk harrow
Verify the conditions of all parts and retighten nuts and bolts, mainly the ones on the
disc gangs, as damage to the axles and other components may occur if they work loose.
Check the tires inflation; keep the same pressure in both.
Lubricate all grease fittings appropriately. (See instructions on the 'lubrication' section).
Hitching to the tractor
Approach the tractor and couple
the hoses (A) to the quick couplers. To
do so, turn off the engine, relieve the
control valve pressure by activating the
lever a couple of times and check if the
couplers are clean.
Activate the control valve to lower the tires until it is possible to place a pin in the hole
(B) and until the drawbar is on the same height as the tractor bar.
Couple the drawbar (C) to the tractor drawbar using a pin (D). To facilitate hitching,
use the parking jack adjustment. Lock the chain (E) to the equipment and to the tractor to
assure that they will not get loose, leaving a small clearance that allow that the disk harrow
can perform maneuvers.
