7. USING THE ZOCON GREENKEEPER
When using the Zocon Greenkeeper, the information given in this chapter must be observed
in order to ensure safe working conditions.
7.1 PREPARATION WORK
Always carefully check the Zocon Greenkeeper for faults before connecting it.
A number of important points of consideration are given below:
•
On delivery, there is no oil in the hydraulic circuit! The double-working cylinders
must first be filled by keeping the control handle in both positions until the
pressure relief valve of the tractor's hydraulic pump is activated. Only then
may the greenkeeper be unfolded. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury and a risk
of damage to the frame of the wings.
•
Check the nuts and bolts and if necessary, tighten them.
•
Check whether all the assembly pins are securely locked.
•
Make sure the locking hooks work correctly.
•
Check the hydraulic circuit for leaks and other faults.
•
Check the teeth for broken (loose) parts and other faults.
•
Check the construction for faults.
The Greenkeeper may only be connected if you are sure it has no faults
.
7.2 CONNECTING TO A TRACTOR
Carry out the following to connect the Zocon Greenkeeper to a tractor:
•
Drive the tractor so that it is just in front of the Greenkeeper.
•
Make sure the hydraulic valves to be used are not pressurized.
•
Turn off the tractor and remove the key from the ignition.
•
While the Greenkeeper is folded up, connect it to the tractor's three-point hoisting
mechanism and secure the attachment pins with reliable circlips.
•
Adjust the top rod so that the top rod pin is in the middle of the hole when the
Greenkeeper is flat on the ground.
•
Connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor.
•
Lead the unlocking cord to the cabin and make sure it cannot get stuck behind any
components.
