
Raise whole machine on linkage until a height is reached which gives a reasonably
horizontal path for the P.T.O shaft and approximately 300mm.

With machine at this height setting the 20mm diameter locating pin for stabiliser arms
should be fitted through pair of nearest matching holes, and secured with 7/16" pin and
ring (both arms) -
Ensure chosen setting is same on both arms.

Tighten M20 setscrew to each stabiliser arm - to lock together.

Lower three-point linkage to allow weight of machine to be taken on stabilisers.

Tractor lower linkage check chains assemblies should now be tightened to make sure
tractor arms are locked and machine is positioned centrally at rear of tractor.

Top link should be adjusted to ensure Hedgetrimmer is upright.

Check the P.T.O shaft length.
When connected from tractor to machine it should engage by 1/3rd of the total shaft
length, i.e. male part should be halfway from the end to fully ‘bottomed’ out. Do not
use the machine until this has been cut to the correct length.
