3.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
To obtain the best performance from the equipment, carefully
follow what is set up below.
All maintenance work, adjustments and preparation for
operation, must be carried out with the power take-off of the
tractor disconnected, the equipment on the ground on its
supporting feet, the tractor not running, the wheels blocked
and the key turned off.
3.1 ATTACHMENT THE TRACTOR
3.1.1 FRONT EQUIPMENT
The equipment may be attached to any tractor fitted out with a
front three-point universal joint.
The attachment to the tractor is a very dangerous phase. Be
sure to follow the instructions carefully throughout the
operation.
The operation must be carried out on a horizontal plane, with
the equipment resting on its parking feet.
At this point, proceed as follows:
1) Hook the lifter bars onto the pins provided (1 Fig. 8) Block with
the snap split pins. Hook the chains to the lifting bars
2) Connect the third upper point (2 Fig. 8); the pin will be blocked
with the appropriate split pin; use the adjusting tierod (3 Fig. 8)
to keep the equipment perpendicular to the ground.
3) Block the movement of the parallels of the tractor on the horizontal
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) The hydraulic pipes must be connected correctly to the tractor
distributors following the instructions on each pipe (Fig. 9).
3.1.2 REAR EQUIPMENT
The operation must be carried out on a horizontal plane.
1) Attach the rotating harrow to the tractor, open the side parts till
they reach operating position, following the instructions shown
in the equipment's Operation and Maintenance manual.
Ensure that the equipment is perfectly parallel with the ground.
2) Mount the four supports for the seeding bar on the rear roller
of the rotating harrow (Fig. 12).
3) Arrange the seeding bars side by side, correctly aligned with
respect to the rotating harrow.
4) With the tractor, and exercising extreme caution, bring the
rotating harrow close to the seeding bar, then, with the aid of
the lifting unit, couple it as shown in figure 10 (A).
5) Using the screws provided, (B, Fig. 10) secure the rotating
harrow/seeding bar coupling.
6) Remove the four supports from the seeding bar.
7) The machine in the correct operating position, check the
length of the seed descent pipes: while the seeder is
operating, it is important to avoid folds and bends in the pipes
which can lead to their breaking. Adapt them, if necessary, by
varying the length as shown in Figure 13.
