STARTING UP
ATTACHMENT TO THE TRACTOR
It is advisable to read carefully this Operator’s Manual as well as the instruction manuals of the
tractor and the PTO shaft manufacturers.
All SICMA chippers have been manufactured to be attached to any tractor provided with hydraulic
lift and universal three-point hitch.
Before attaching the equipment to the tractor, set both on a flat and smooth ground and make sure
that nobody is standing between them.
•
Approach slowly
the chipper with
the arms of the lift
and connect first
the lower arms
and then attach
the upper third
point hitch. The
chipper is
equipped with
attachment pins of
1
st
category (ø22).
•
Make sure you fix
the pins with the
corresponding
safety pins
.
•
Lock the arms of
the lift with proper
chains or anti-
shaking
tensioners.
After having accomplished the above-mentioned activities it
is always advisable to check that all bolts and nuts of your
chipper are tightened strongly (ref. bolts and nuts tightening
table).
Pay attention to the tractor’s front wheels grip when the
equipment is set up and lifted from the ground; if the wheels
appear to be too lightened, ballast the tractor front part.
