Training
It is the responsibility of the Spearhead dealer to provide instruction on the
safe installation, operation and maintenance of the machine in the first
instance. Further training is available from Spearhead Machinery Ltd on
request, at cost.
Tractor Requirements
•
Check your Tractor size and minimum weight on the Specification table
•
Before hitching, ensure position control is selected. Do not attempt to
hitch in draft control.
•
Set wheel width as wide as possible.
•
Ballast weight is to be fitted within tract
or manufacturer’s recommended
requirements
•
Check chains and stabilisers must be in good working order to hold the
machine firmly. Do not operate without checking chains and stabilisers
are tight.
•
Spearhead particularly recommend ‘turn buckle’ type stabiliser.
•
Set linkage lift rods to an equal length
•
Certain machines require a 12V fused electric supply that is controlled
by the tractor’s ignition key.
•
Spearhead particularly recommend three point linkage of ball end type,
we do not advise the use of claw type hitching. The quick release
latches should be checked, if worn or insecure they may cause
accidental damage or personal injury if the machine becomes
detached.
•
Ensure tractor link arms can be isolated from accidental lifting.
Lighting Kits
For additional safety, rear mounted lighting kits are already fitted as standard.
