6. Set-up instructions
Preparing the tractor
• Only CAPABLE and AUTHORIZED personnel must operate the equipment.
• Observe every safety condition and use safety glasses, foot protection, earplugs/
muffs, protective gloves and any other required PPE.
• Before starting the job or transporting the equipment, check for any people or
obstructions on the area.
ATTENTION
The following instructions must be carefully observed in order to get the best working
performance.
The addition of water ballasts in the tires and a set of weights on the front part and rear
wheels of the tractor are the most used ways to increase the soil traction and give greater
stability to the tractor. Check if the tractor is in its full condition before using it.
The drawbar is used to get a better power supplied by the tractor to perform the
equipment dragging.
Drawbar types:
Straight up and positioned on a single height related to the soil, without the option to
adjust the hitching height;
Angled drawbar with two height adjustments (going up or down).
When the bar is totally retreated on its length, the operator must be aware for any
curve or maneuvers, as the equipment drawbar may touch the tractor tires or damage the
hydraulic hoses.
When using the tractor drawbar, lift the three-point hitches entirely.
The tractor drawbar must be compatible with the equipment. Do not exceed the static
load capacity of the tractor drawbar.
