PREPARING THE VEHICLE

Preparing the tractor

CAUTION: Avoid injury. Proper ballastings is required for safe operation of your tiller

IMPORT ANT : Refer to the tractor operator manual for proper ballasting information and tire inflation

• A 540 rpm PTO

• Refer to the tractor operator manual for correct ballasting and tire pressure, depending on installed

equipment.

Park vehicle safety

• Stop vehicle on a lever surface, not on a slope.

• Disengage PTO.

• Engage the park brake.

• STOP the engine.

• Remove the key.

• Before you leave the operator’s seat, wait for engine

and all moving parts to STOP.

Stay clear of rotating drivelines

Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause serious injury or death:

• Wear close fitting clothing.

• STOP the engine and be sure PTO driveline is stopped

before getting near it.

Quick Coupler

1) Install hitch Quick Coupler (A) on the tractor (see

tractor operator manual).

2) Stop vehicle on a level surface, not on a slope, then

moving back to the tractor until the Quick Coupler (A) is range with the (B) and (C) hitch points.

3) Raise the Quick Coupler (A) and make sure that tiller’s

hitch is in the right position (E).

CAUTION: Before you work around hitch:

• STOP engine.

• LOCK park brake.

• FIRML Y block tiller on horizontal surface

Preparing the vehicle - Page 8

INSTALLING

3. Install PTO shaft to tractor.

IMPORTANT: Tiller MUST BE level front to rear.

• Engage the cardan shaft and check that it is perfectly locked on the tractor PTO (G). Check that the guard (H) is free to turn and fix it with the relative latch.

4. Raise tiller.

5. Remove spring locking pin (K) from parking stand.

6. Slide parking stand (I) and way up on tiller bracket (J).

7. Fasten with spring locking pin (K).

8. Level tiller (See Leveling Tiller in the Operating T iller section).

9. Adjust sway chains on tractor lower draft arms to minimize side way.

PTO shaft

The PTO shaft, supplied with the machine, is of standard length. Therefore it might be necessary to adapt the PTO shaft. In that case, before doing anything, consult the Manufacturer for the eventual adaptation.

When the PTO shaft is fully extended, the two tubes must overlap by at least 6 inch (A). When fully inserted, the minimum play must be 1,6 inch (B).

CAUTION: If the implement is used on another tractor, always check that the guards completely cover the rotating parts of the PTO shaft.

Only skid version

Installing - Page 9

INSTALLING

PTO shaft with clutch

The PTO shaft can be equipped with safety clutch to protect the transmission components of the machine from stress and/or excessive overloads.

The tilt of the PTO shaft must not exceed 10 degrees.

The clutch is already pre-adjusted for average stress. If it slips too easily (and overheats), it will be necessary to evenly tighten all the nuts (D) that retain the springs. The clutch disks must be changed if the clutch still slips after all the nuts have been tightened. If the clutch does not slip, evenly unscrew all the spring fixing nuts (D). Unscrew one turn at a time and check the clutch after having worked about 300 meters. Repeat the operation if necessary, remembering to unscrew one turn at a time. If the clutch maintains a temperature of about 40-50 (104-122 °F) degrees during work, this means that it has been correctly regulated.

IMPORTANT: Never fully tighten the nuts. This would void the function of the springs and, subsequently, of the clutch, thus damaging the transmission components.

NOTE: This inspection must be performed at the beginning of each new season.

Park vehicle safely

• Stop vehicle on a level surface, not on a slope.

• Disengage PTO.

• Engage the park brake.

• STOP the engine.

• Remove the key.

• Before you leave the operator’s seat, wait for engine and all moving parts to STOP.

Stay clear of rotating drivelines

Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause serious injury or death:

• Wear close fitting clothing.

• STOP the engine and be sure PTO driveline is stopped before getting near it.
