Start/Stop procedure
The start procedure is
VERY
important. If this procedure is not executed as described below, it might
result in serious damage to the machine.
The start procedure is as follows:
1. Check the Verti-Drain® 2519 for loose components and look whether all components function
properly.
If loose components are observed or components do not function properly, the problems
must be solved
before
using the Verti-Drain® 2519!
2. Drive to the spot where the processing should take place.
3. Lower the machine until the lower pins almost touch the ground.
4. Adjust the tractor engine to around 1200 rpm.
5. Put the tractor in the correct gears and drive forwards.
6. Switch ON the PTO.
7. While it turns, lower the machine carefully into the ground during the forward drive.
8. Increase the PTO’s revolutions to the maximum allowed value of 540 rpm.
Always lower the machine CAREFULLY.
During the work activities, the front roller has to be adjusted to the ground in a stable manner. If the
machine is unstable, other pins should be mounted
or
the working depth has to be adjusted.
Failing to eliminate the instability will damage the machine. The machine is NOT
protected against this continuous overload.
NEVER reverse with the pins in the ground or close to the ground.
Do not use a hydraulic top rod.
Stopping occurs as follows:
1. Reduce the number of engine revolutions.
2. Lift the machine off the ground.
3. Detach the PTO as soon as the pins are out of the ground.
4. Raise the machine further until the pins are minimum 120 mm above the ground.
5. Go to the next location and start again as described above.
It is absolutely necessary to work according the aforementioned procedures. If you
place the machine on the ground without a running PTO, you might damage the
machine severely.
