remains extended by 5-10 cm from its maximum closing position.
At this point, proceed as follows:
1) Hook the lifter bars onto the pins provided
(1,
fi
g.43)
Block with
the snap split pins. Hook the chains to the lifting bars
2) Connect the third upper point
(2,
fi
g.44)
; the pin will be blocked
with the appropriate split pin; use the adjusting tierod
(3,
fi
g.44)
to keep the machine perpendicular to the ground
(
fi
g.44).
3) Block the movement of the parallels of the tractor on the hori-
zontal plane using the stabilizers provided, so eliminating the
side swaying of the equipment. Check that the tractor hoisting
arms are positioned at the same height from the ground.
4) Adjust the height of the tractor lifting arms so that,
in the tran-
sporting position, the machine does not, for any reason
whatsoever, come into contact with the ground.
5) The hydraulic pipes must be connected correctly to the tractor
distributors following the instructions on each pipe
(
fi
g.45).
6) Connect the Cardan shaft and make sure that it is perfectly
blocked on the power take-off
(
fi
g.46).
Check that the guard
turns freely and
fi
x it with the chain provided.
During the work, regularly check that the equipment is per-
pendicular.
ATTENTION: Always follow the indications recommended by
the Manufacturer for the transport of the machine.
4.1.2 UNHOOKING THE MACHINE FROM THE TRACTOR
DANGER
Unhooking the machine from the tractor is a very angerous
operation. Great caution must be used and the whole operation
must be carried out following the instructions.
For a correct unhooking operation of the machine it is necessary
to proceed on a horizontal level.
1) Lower the supporting base elements
2) Slowly lower the machine until it rests completely on the ground.
3) Disconnect the hydraulic pipes from the tractor distributors and
protect the quick couplings with the caps.
4) Disconnect the cardan shaft from the tractor, and put it on the
support hook.
5) Loosen and unhook the third point, following the
fi
rst and se-
cond.
4.2 CARDAN SHAFT
Cardan shaft adaption
The Cardan shaft, supplied with the machine, is of standard length.
Therefore it might be necessary to adapt the Cardan shaft.
In that case, before doing anything, consult the Manufacturer for
the eventual adaptation.
Hitch the machine to the tractor and stabilize the tractor’s third
point with the device installed for that purpose (bar, chain, etc.).
Disengage the tractor’s PTO and turn off the engine.
Connect the driveline shaft to the tractor’s PTO.
Connection is correct when the machine is horizontal in the oper-
ating position.
