5. Adjustments and How to Start-up
5.1.
Machine’s Load or Unload.
During the loading and unloading tasks of
the machine in an out of the lorry, be sure
of using straps or belts in good condition
and resistant enough and of using
suspension points as the ones indicated
next.
5.2.
Tow Bar Adjustment
Before hitching the machine to the
tractor, that one must be levelled using
the jackwheel leaving it as much as
horizontal as possible. Later it will be
approached to the tractor revising the
coupling heights. If needed, the tube will
ve reversed increasing in this way the
distance with the floor as all the hitchings
are uncentered from the center of the
tube.
DANGER! Carry out the tasks of hitching with the tractor and the contact key switched
off.
5.2.1.
Tow Drawbar Length Adjustment
All the hitching drawbars can modify their total lenght until 250 mm in bits of 50 mm. The length will have
to be changed so that the tractor’s wheels do not touch the machine when this one turns.
To modify the length of the hitching bar the next steps must be followed:
1. To set the jackwheel in working position.
2.
Loose the locknut/s and the tightening screw/s in the low part
of the frame (A).
3.
Dissamble the knuckle pin and the fixation bolt (B).
4.
Place the hitching tow bar to the desired lenght.
5.
Re-assemble the pin and the knuckle pin (B).
6.
Tighten again the screw/s of the lower part and the
locknut/s (A).
5.2.2.
Eye Tow Bar Hitching
It has got the hitching point in the frame of the
tractor. Before connecting the PTO, be sure of
having tightened correctly the shaft of the tow
bar and that the wheels of the tractor do not
touch the mistblower when turning. A
homocinetic PTO shaft is needed beside the
tractor.
