Fold out the machine
Begin soil preparation
Working speed
During soil preparation, monitor the working speed. The possible
working speed within the range of 5 – 15 km/h depends on the desired
comminution of the soil.
Switching on the
power harrow
On the field, switch on the power harrow as follows:
Lift the machine until all tools are lifted evenly off the ground
Switch on the tractor PTO and slowly increase the tractor motor
speed
Lower the machine to work position and slowly increase the tractor
motor speed further
Drive forwards and begin working
Continue increasing the tractor motor speed until you reach the
prescribed PTO speed
The driving speed is based on the following criteria:
•
Soil type
•
Soil condition
•
Desired level of comminution to be achieved for the soil
As a general rule, the greater the driving speed, the lower the quality
of the work.
Avoid high driving speeds
Never work at high driving speeds.
The machine may be damaged and produce substandard work.
