ATTACHING THE MACHINE TO THE TRACTOR
Attachment of machine to tractor should always be performed on a firm level site.
Attachment to Tractor
Position the tractor's lower linkage at the same height as the machines lower attachment
points.
Carefully drive the tractor squarely up to the machine and attach the tractors lower linkage
points to the machine using pins that match the tractors linkage (Cat.II or III).
Fit top link to upper attachment point.
Raise the machine on the tractors hydraulics and adjust the top link so that the machine is
parallel to the ground.
Fit and adjust check chains and/or stabiliser bars if applicable to lock the machine into a
central position on the tractor.
Connect machines hydraulic hoses the tractors hydraulic service.
Fit PTO Shaft and attach torque chains to a suitable location – refer below for details of
PTO measurement and shaft length adjustment.
PTO Shaft Measurement
Measure the PTO shaft and cut to the
dimension shown – the finished length
of the PTO shaft should be 75mm (3")
less than the measured distance 'A' -
between tractor shaft and gearbox stub
shaft - to enable fitting.
NOTE: For subsequent use on different
tractor measure again; there must be a
minimum shaft overlap of 150mm (6").
Fit PTO in position and attach the torque
chains to a convenient location to
prevent the shaft guards from rotating.
PTO Shaft Length Adjustment
1. Shorten outer plastic tube to 40mm
less than the shortest envisaged shaft
length.
2. Remove the marked tube.
3. Remove same length from inner
plastic tube and metal shaft profiles
(inner and outer).
4. De-burr all edges and remove 'swarf'
to ensure smooth operation.
Start the machine to check it runs correctly.
WARNING!
Ensure any bystanders, onlookers or animals are at a safe distance before
attempting to start and run the machine.
