STARTING
Before operation, check the correct operation of protective and safety devices, flexible hydraulic
hoses and oil level!
Before each use check if the saw blade is attached properly.
During the first assembly of the machine check the length of the cardan shaft and adjust if
necessary!
Determine the exact length as follows:
1.
Turn off the tractor;
2.
Attach the machine to the tractor;
3.
Pull the cardan shaft apart, connect the two respective parts to the tractor and the
machine, compare them crosswise and mark them (figure F1);
4.
Shorten the external and internal plastic protective pipes (figure F2);
5.
Shorten the external and internal sliding profiles to the same length as plastic protective
pipes (figure F3);
Skim the pipe ends, remove the chips and thoroughly lubricate the sliding parts (figure F4).
1.
Cardan shaft drive
Connect the machine to the three-point hitch attachment of the tractor.
Put on the cardan coupling and secure it with a safety chain.
The tractor cardan shaft rotates in the clockwise direction.
Adjust the throttle lever of the tractor to minimum.
Slowly engage the cardan shaft of the tractor and wait until the machine starts.
Adjust the required number of revolutions of the cardan shaft with the throttle lever.
Maximum number of revolutions of the cardan shaft:
▪
460 rpm
Never exceed the maximum number of revolutions of the cardan shaft; otherwise the oil
temperature will rise. This may cause a premature wear and leaking of the pump, rollers and
hydraulic system.
Before disconnecting the cardan coupling, adjust the throttle lever of the tractor to a minimum.
Place the disconnected cardan coupling to a dedicated storage area.
