B3 Major 4S PTO
Safety precautions
•
Long funnel
: the funnel from the Major 4S PTO is extra long so that
the user’s hands cannot come into contact with the blades.
•
Protective plate
: behind the Major 4S PTO, there is a protective plate
that ensures that the operator cannot reach the blades with his hands
if the machine is connected to the tractor.
Connecting propeller shaft
• Make sure that the turbine is completely free of clippings and that the blade axle can turn
without obstruction.
• Ensure that the protective plate of the Major 4S is closed and clicked
shut. If the protective plate is not secured, the propeller shaft cannot
be secured to the Major 4S.
• Connect the tractor to the major’s 3-point connector. The machine can
only be used if all three points are secure.
• Use the upper connection of the 3-point connector to adjust so that the Major 4S hangs flat.
• The white ring on the propeller shaft’s connection slides back. Until the propeller shaft has
been clicked into place, it has not been connected properly.
• If the Major 4S is connected to a tractor with a capacity greater than 13hp, use a propeller
shaft with a slip coupling. ELIET is not responsible for damage to the machine as a result of
using a tractor with an excessive output capacity.
Using the machine
• The Major 4S PTO runs at a PTO speed of 540 rpm. Eliet is not responsible for damage to the
machine if excessive PTO speed is used.
• Set your tractor’s accelerator so that the revolutions are 540 RPM.
• Set de machine flat on the ground before starting. The Major 4S may not be used in transport
mode.
• Direct the blow chute to the desired position before beginning to cut. Do this by dismantling
the blow chute (see Annex B2) and then installing in the desired position.
• If you hear a strange noise, when there is a blockage or during other unforeseen
circumstances, the propeller shaft must be switched off immediately.
