Risk of crushing and cuts!

During machine preparation operations, o bserve the SAFETY rules, in particular:

• make sure that the machine is in a very stable position.

• Do not stand between the tractor and the machine during h itching

or unhitching operations. If it is necessary to work in the area between the tractor and the machine, observe the safety rules (tractor engine switched off, Pto disengaged, tractor parking brake applied, key removed from starter switch, chocks placed under wheels of the tractor)

• Before hitching or unhitching the machine to/from the tractor,

position the lift control lever in a position where it is not possible to operate it.

• Do not stand under suspended loads

• Take all necessary precautions to prevent injury or damage

caused by accidental falls

Reposition and securely fix in working position all those parts of the machine that were secured in temporary positions for shipment.

Hitching the machine

We strongly recommend that you observe the safety warnings given in the previous pages of this manual.

The category of the tractor 3-point linkage must match that of the implement.

Mounting bracket for Cat.2 linkage

Mounting bracket for Cat.2+3 linkage

Hitching the machine

To attach the harrow to the tractor, proceed as follows:

Line up the tractor with the harrow

> >

Insert the lower links of the tractor's hydraulic linkage in the corresponding mounting brackets on the implement, which should both be positioned at the same distance from the tractor.

Secure the lower links with the pins and locking pins provided.

NOTE Attachment is made easier if the lower link stabilisers are adjusted so

as to allow the lower links to move freely. On completion of the hitching operation, the stabilisers should be adjusted so as to limit oscillation (during implement transport, all oscillation must be completely eliminated).

Insert the end of the top link of the tractor's hydraulic linkage in the upper

mounting bracket of the harrow and secure it with the relative pins and locking pins.

Adjust the length of the top link, bearing in mind that the drive shaft transmitting power from the tractor Pto to the harrow must be horizontal when the implement is in operation.
