The maximum allowable transport driving speed for the cultivator is 30 km/h,
irrespective of whether the unit is raised on the tractor’s lifter or pulled on its own
wheels. In poor conditions, or if the cultivator is loaded by a seed drill tow bar, the
driving speed must be adjusted accordingly.
When transporting the cultivator at high speed on its own wheels, take into
account that the cultivator can cause slight oversteering of the tractor and can
also reduce the braking power of the tractor’s rear axle. Take these factors into
consideration and observe appropriate caution when driving.
Never reverse with the cultivator lowered – always raise the lifter before reversing!
The draw pin built onto the cultivator is designed for towing a Tume fertilizer seed
drill equipped with a Tume multi-purpose drawbar. The working load limits for the
draw pin are presented below in this manual. The working load limits must not be
exceeded.
Maintain the fertilizer seed drill draw pin in good working order at all times.
Replace worn or damaged parts as necessary. Use only original Tume spare parts.
Use of the cultivator’s draw pin for any purpose other than that presented above
is strictly forbidden.
If the unit is used in combination with a Tume CultiPlus hybrid cultivator, the rear
wheels of the cultivator must be locked straight. If the required locking devices
have not been delivered as standard equipment, they must be purchased as Tume
spare parts and installed before connecting the cultivator to the CultiPlus unit.
The paint finish of the cultivator may emit harmful fumes upon heating. Ensure
sufficient repair workshop ventilation and use personal protective equipment as
necessary.
Demanding cultivator repair work must be carried out by an authorised Tume
service workshop.
Only original Tume spare parts may be used.
Structural alteration of the cultivator may not be carried out without prior written
permission of the manufacturer clearly specifying the changes to be made.
