4.0 UNPACKING AND FIRST SET-UP:

The Maredo MT210 machine is delivered on a specially
prepared steel pallet, at which the heads and the MFrame
are firmly packed. Assemble the machine as follows:

5.1. Remove all items from the pallet. Unscrew the rear
draw bar from the MFrame. In the end you should have the
following parts available: 3 x heads (RH, LH and rear one),

1x MFrame, rear draw bar, 2x PTO’s for RH and LH head ,
1x half PTO shaft for rear head, 1 x tractor PTO and 2 x
tube clamp d=80 mm (3”) to fix the PTO to the side heads.

5.2. Put the MFrame carefully with “it’s nose” on the floor.

5.3. Mount the rear draw bar with the 3 bolts, which go

through the rubber pivot block. Put the self-lock nuts at
the other side and tighten all 3 bolts well.

5.4. Connect the chain with D shackles at each side of the
rear draw bar. Tighten the D shackles well.

NOTE: Set the chain length at maximum. It can be
shortened later when the rear head is too close to the
ground, when the machine is raised.

5.5. Put the MFrame on its storage stands on the floor.

5.6. Mount the rear head first. The PTO is already pre-

mounted at the head side. Insert the other PTO half into
this one and next slide+ secure the PTO to the rear PTO
shaft of the MFrame gearbox. If the PTO is in place,
mount the rear head to the rear draw bar of the MFrame
with the 5 rubber blocks. Tighten all nuts (5) well.

5.7. Finally mount the two push-bars (2 x air spring) on
top of the head and draw bar and the rear head mounting
is completed.
