Install the end of the driveline with the safety slip clutch to the machine and the opposite
end to the tractor
PTO
. Be sure each end is connected securely with either the locking
pin or bolt and nut. Connect the driveline chains to the tractor and to the machine to
prevent the protective shielding from rotating during operation. If it was necessary to
remove the
PTO
protection to do any of the above operations, do not forget to replace it.
After use, if the machine is not supplied with front gauge wheels or a front roller, the
machine should be lowered and allowed to rest on the stand which is supplied with the
machine
(see fig. 13)
.
3.14 - Start Up
DANGER: never allow anyone around the Green-Rite when it is in operation.
Never engage the tractor
PTO
before the tines are about to touch the ground.
DANGER:
operate the implement only at the speed and direction of rotation
indicated on the machine. Serious damage can result if this is not followed.
CAUTION: before starting work, clear the area of any obstacles or foreign objects.
The Green-Rite is set up to be used on tractors with a
PTO
of 540 rpm.
With the engine in neutral and tractor rpm low, engage the
PTO
and very slowly bring
the tractor rpm up to ¾ its normal working speed. Lower the machine to the ground and
increase the rpm until a
PTO
speed of 540 is reached. Never operate over 540 rpm.
