5.5 Attaching the machine to a 540 rpm PTO
All mechanical functions are related to the correct PTO speed. Follow the instructions
as supplied with the PTO unit for correct assembling of the PTO shaft to the tractor
(See ‘PTO shaft adjustment & maintenance’)
. Ensure PTO cover guards are prevented
from rotating, by securing the chain to the tractor.
5.6 Lighting system
The 7-pin plug of the lighting system on the machine must be connected to the 7-pin
socket on the tractor.
5.7 Attaching hydraulic hosing to the tractor
There are a total of four hydraulic hoses that must be connected to the tractor. They
are as follows:
1.
½” male quick-release for door open (max. flow 70 l/min)
CAUTION: Release hand brake
Always ensure the hand brake has been released before moving the
machine on the road or operating in a field.
WARNING: Connect the PTO to the machine first
Always connect the PTO shaft to the machine PTO stub first and to the
tractor PTO stub last, in case of accidental activation which could be
lethal!
CAUTION: Standard PTO of 540 rpm, maximum = 610 rpm
The machine should be driven with a standard PTO speed of 540 rpm.
The maximum PTO speed allowed = 610 rpm. A PTO speed above
610 rpm is likely to cause damage to machine components. Do not use
any faster PTO speed other than specified above!
NOTE: Check lighting system before travelling on the road
Before travelling on a public road, the operator must ensure that the
complete (tractor and machine) lighting system is in a fully functioning
condition.
WARNING: Turn off tractor and remove key before connecting
hydraulic hosing
When connecting hydraulic hosing to the tractor, ensure that the tractor
engine is turned off and that the ignition key is removed. Ensure that all
hydraulic connections are correctly tightened.
