Safety
Never go under the machine when
raised in the tractor lift until the ma-
chine is properly supported and the
tractor brake applied.
Follow the rules governing the
transportation of farm implements
and machinery on public roads.
Provide sufficient front-end weight
on the tractor to give the front
wheels a firm road grip when the
machine is lifted off the ground.
The side extensions must only be
raised by using the hydraulics. If
the extensions are raised by crane
or similar means, air enters the sys-
tem, and, when lowered, the side
extensions will drop with a bang.
Raising side exten-
sions
Before the cultivator is to be used
the hydraulic system for raising the
side extensions is to be bled.
Should there be some air in the
system the side extensions may fall
with a crash when lowered. Dis-
mantle the piston rod and put pres-
sure on the cylinders so that the
piston rod moves to a from a cou-
ple of times. Then remount the pis-
ton rod.
6
Lock the side extensions with split
bolts in raised and lowered position
(only VF 4200 and VF 4300). Re-
member to remove the split bolts
before operating the hydraulic
system.
How to use quick
release coupling
Mounting
Place the black drawbar of the culti-
vator in the lower links of the trac-
tor. Place the bushes on the draw
pins. The bushes must be placed
on the outside of the hitch points of
the lower links so that they support
the drawbar against the outer draw
hooks on the cultivator. Otherwise
the drawbar may easily become
overloaded and break.
The hair pin clips are fitted - hair
pin clips of a quality inferior to that
of the original hardened spring
steel must not be used
Back the tractor towards the culti-
vator till the hitch points of the low-
er links are below the gaps be-
tween the draw hooks. Raise the
drawbar with the tractor lift till it is
caught in the draw hooks. Mount
the top link.
Disengaging.
Lower the lift. Remove the top link
and release the quick coupling.
Take the drawbar from the tractor
and place it on the cultivator.
Adjustment of top
link
The cultivator frame must stay hori-
zontal during work to make both the
front and the rear tines work at the
same depth. This is adjusted by
means of the tractor's top link.
A short top link raises the rear tines
whereas a lengthened top link low-
ers the rear tines.
When the cultivator works in the
field the top link must be lower at
the tractor end than at the head-
stock of the cultivator.
The top link must never be horizon-
tal as the cultivator will run un-
steadily and make the steering of
the tractor difficult.
Adjustment of
wheels
For the cultivator to operate proper-
ly, it has to be adjusted to make all
tines operated at the same depth.
