Preparing the Machine for Work
Ensure that the machine and the PTO shaft have been correctly
connected to the tractor as stated in the ‘machine attachment
sections’ of the manual.
Ensure that the immediate surroundings will not cause a
restriction to the moving and checking of the machine.
Select a safe open area in which to ‘run-up’ and check the
machine. Ensure there are no children, bystanders or animals in
the immediate area when the machine is run for the first time.
NOTE: To operate the machine with the hydraulic safety breakback feature, the
hydraulic spool lever should be in “float” position. This gives free flow of oil return to
the tractor should an obstacle be encountered.
Failure to operate without free float return to the tractor may result
in serious damage to your machine.
With the machine raised clear of the
ground by approximately 100mm pull
the transport latch release cord and
carefully operate the hydraulic spool
valve to retract the hydraulic ram, this
will pull the swing arm through 90°
and place the deck of the machine in
the work position on the right hand
side of the tractor.
Lower the machine so the skids are
resting on the ground, apply
handbrake and turn off the tractor
engine.
Remove the top link pin from the
single hole on the headstock and
reposition the top link with the pin in
the slotted hole directly below; this will
allow better floatation when operating
the machine.
