6. ATTACHING OF THE MACHINE TO THE TRACTOR
1.
The power of the tractor should be convenient to the machine which
mentioned in technical specification.
2.
Air pressure in the tractor’s tires must be sufficient.
3.
It is inconvenience within motion area of lifting levers.
4.
It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and the equipment
while adjusting the middle lever.
5.
It is absolutely forbidden in space between the tractor and the equipment
with engine running and without hand brake pulled.
6.
If your machine has hydraulic system the both side of system should be
under pressure while connecting the hydraulic hoses of machine to
tractor’s hydraulic system.
7.
If your machine has an electric system, electric and sensor connections
should be connected safely.
6.1 TRANSPORTING OF THE MACHINE AND THE STABILITY
OF THE TRACTOR AND THE MACHINE DURING
TRANSPORT
1.
Comply with transport regulations and highway limits.
2.
When driving on public roads, pay attentions traffic lights and indicators.
3.
Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable signs and
guards.
4.
It is very important to remember that road ho lding capacity as well as
direction and braking capacity can be influenced, sometimes considerably
by equipment being either carried or towed.
5.
When taking bend, calculate centrifugal force and centre of gravity will
shift depending on whether equipment is being carried or not.
6.
For transport adjust and fasten side lever chain. Lock hydraulic lifting
control lever.
7.
For displacements beyond working area, equipment must be placed in
transportation position.
8.
When dimensions of carried or partially carried equipment conceal
tractor’s signalling and lighting devices, these must also be installed on
equipment itself, in conformity with regulations of highway of country
involved. When in operation make sure tha t lighting system is in perfect
working order. It is also important to remember that correct signalling
sequence of headlights includes.
6.2 Tractor Stability and Lifting Capacity Check
When machine is jointed to tractor, It becomes an integral part of it. Attached
equipment’s weight is closely related with road position and stability of tractor. In
normal conditions, it is assumed that 20% of tractor weight is carried by front axle.
In this case, attached equipment’s weight should not be greater than 30% of
tractor weight. This factor can be summarized in following formulas:
