replace them with new ones
•
check tightening of all screws, bolts and nuts. Tighten any loose nuts especially at the
beginning of operation of the machine
•
check fitting of the quick-connectors of the hydraulic hoses of the machine to the sockets on

3.2. Preparation of the Unit (T Machine)
•
pressure in the tractor wheels must be equal on the
same axle in order to provide uniform working depth of
the machine
•
the tractor lower links (c) must be stiffened (lock the
oblong holes) and at the same height above the ground
level
•
set the lifting rods of the tractor links (w) so that you can
pull down the lower links below the hitch axle in order to
achieve the required working depth, while obtaining
sufficient lifting height of the links for transport
•
mount the front axle weights in order to keep balance of
the tractor and the machine
•
the tractor front axle must always be loaded with min 20
% of the tractor net weight
