Before engaging the PTO, make sure that its rotation speed corresponds to the rate for which the machine has been desi-
4.1.2 WORK POSITION
The operator must be seated in the driving seat of the tractor when the machine is working since only from that position is
he able to act correctly. Before he leaves the driving seat, the operator must stop the machine, apply the parking brake and
turn off the tractor engine.
4.2 HITCHING TO THE TRACTOR
Hitching to the tractor could be a dangerous operation. Take great care and strictly comply with the instructions.
Proceed in the following way to hitch the machine to the tractor in the correct way:
▪
Make sure that you are using a tractor whose configuration suits the machine in question.
▪
Make sure that there are no objects, bystanders and/or animals in the immediate vicinity of the machine and that the PTO
is disengaged.
▪
Make sure that the machine is in a stable, horizontal position, then back up the tractor towards the machine.
▪
Drive the tractor near to the implement with caution and adapt the height of the lift links to the height of the hitching pins.
▪
Move the power lift bars near and fit them on to the hitching pins. Now lock in place with the supplied split pins (
▪
Switch off the tractor engine.
▪
Connect the top link and adjust it so that the machine is on the flat (
▪
Lock the power lift bars with the relative chains and parallel idlers on the tractor. This must be done to prevent the machine
from swinging sideways.
▪
Fit the driveline into the machine's power take-off and make sure that it is perfectly locked in the correct position.
▪
Fit the driveline into the tractor's power take-off and make sure that it is perfectly locked in the correct position. Make sure
that the shield is free to turn. Fasten the shield with the relative chain. Remove the support from the driveline (6 Fig. 1) and
fix it on the relative hook.
▪
Connect the hydraulic pipes that operate the shifting and turning rams, to the tractor's control valves. Make sure that the
drivelines are clean on both sides. The pivoting ram has black tubes, while the shifting ram has blue tubes: make sure that
the tubes are connected in pairs to the relative control valves.
▪
Switch on the tractor engine, slightly lift the machine from the ground and raise the bearing stands.
▪
Working with the utmost caution, become familiar with the hydraulic controls that operate the shifting and pivoting me-
chanisms.
▪
Remember that the pivoting ram (
the machine can be regulated in relation to the tractor so as to prevent the driveline from obstructing the various different
components during the movements.
