Transport and attachment of the machine
Transport to the customer
Unload the machine with special care to avoid any damage. Check that
all nuts and bolts are fixed and tightened. Specially check the bolts and nuts
for the working blades.
Attachment and detachment from the tractor
Before any operation check:
•
That the machine is in good condition,
•
That all guards are in proper places and in good condition,
•
That working blades are complete and undamaged,
•
That all greasing points are greased well and that in gearbox is
enough oil,
•
Appropriate tensioned belts
,
•
That rpm and direction of rotation on the drive axle correspond
to those on the machine.
When you attach the machine to the tractor, bring the tractor lower
lines near the machine, to the points corresponding to the pins. Insert the
pins and secure them with the spring clips. Fit the top link, raise the ma-
chine to a perpendicular position to the ground. Adjust the two tractor
lower linkage stabilizers thus fixing the machine to the tractor in a central
position. Connect the hydraulic cylinders and check if it works.
3-point hitch of the machine must be in a simetrical position
with the tractor.
Top linkage point has two working modes: floating and fixed linkage
.
Use floating position whenever working on hilly, uneven terrain to avoid
damaging the machine or linkage. To get floating position just remove the
pin, fixing the top linkage bracket, on the opposite site of the linkage
bracket (see Fig.6).
