engaged. Make sure the implement is resting on the ground or securely blocked up and the
tractor lifting hydraulics locked.
Once all the checks above have been done, start the tractor and the implement as follows:
•
start the tractor and engage the tractor PTO at low rpm, making sure that the
implement is NOT in the raised position but close to the ground, then increase speed
engine until to 540 or 1000 rpm (dependent on which size model you have purchased)
•
lower the implement on the ground and simultaneously start driving the tractor
forward at low speed. Subsequently, increase the ground speed depending on ground
conditions;
•
If the outside temperature is very cold, it's recommended to engage the PTO and
have the implement operate at low speed (with the tractor stationary) to warm oil and
lubricate parts;
•
Drive for a while operating the implement then stop the tractor to check the quality
of the work performed. If you need to get off the tractor, reduce engine speed and
disengage PTO, set the parking brake, stop engine and remove the ignition key.
