Adjustments and operations
Operations - important points
• Retighten nuts and bolts after the first day of work and check the conditions of
all pins and cotter pins. Then, retighten every 24 operating hours.
• Carefully observe the lubrication intervals.
• Special attention should be given to the disc gangs, retightening daily during the
first week of use. Then, retighten periodically.
• Choose a gear that allows the tractor to maintain certain power reserve, ensuring
against unforeseen efforts.
• Always inflate the tires with the aid of a contention device (tire inflation cage).
• The correct tire inflation is important; keep the same pressure on every tire.
(Check the 'tires inflation' page on the 'maintenance' section).
• Speed is relative to the tractor gear and can only be determined by local conditions.
We adopted an average 05 to 07 km/h, which is not advisable to overcome to
maintain service efficiency and avoid possible damages to the equipment.
• It is important to keep a constant speed during the whole operation.
• Only people who own a complete knowledge of the tractor and equipment must
operate them.
• Be on a wide field and maneuver on slow gear to hitch the equipment, being
ready to brake when necessary.
• Remove sticks or any object that may get stuck on the disc blades.
• Only pull the equipment using a tractor with enough power.
• During working or transportation, do not allow passengers on the tractor or
equipment.
• Always keep the equipment centered related to the tractor and leveled related
to the soil.
