6. Set-up instructions
Hitching to the tractor
WARNING
- When setting up the equipment for the job, the tractor-equipment must be leveled
related to the soil. Besides that, the tractor must be hitched to the equipment hitch
to avoid unnecessary efforts during the set-up.
- When hitching the equipment to the tractor, use a chain to lock the equipment drawbar
to the tractor hitch bar. This measure will prevent a possible rupture of any hydraulic
hose or breaks on the hitching system, what would make the equipment tilt up.
- The correct way to hitch the safety chain (H) may vary according to the tractor model.
However, the hitch and the hoop must pass through the chain links as shown on the
illustration below. Never hitch the hook without passing it through the chain.
When towing the equipment on public roads, use the safety chain (H) with a traction
resistance equal or superior than the total weight that is being towed. This will control the
equipment if the hitch pin (F) is lost.
After the safety chain ends are hitched to the equipment and tractor, carry out a test
driving the tractor to the right and to the left to check the adequate length. If necessary,
readjust the chain to eliminate any part of the chain that is loose/too tight.
