DECLARED USE The TR shredder has been designed to be used exclusively in the agricul- tural sector, for mowing grass, maize stalks, maize and branches up to a diameter of about 8 cm. according to the type of tool used. Te machine is carried by the tractor via 3-point hitch and acts on the material via the rotation of the tool-holder shaft, which turns at high speed activated by the tractor PTO via cardan connection.
OPTIONAL Below fi nd a list of the different optionals which can be requested according to personal requirements: 1 - PIVOTING WHEELS They are used instead of the rear wheel and allow to keep the the outlet of the shredded material completely free, thus preventing annoying clogging, which would lead to obstruction of the expelling area.

CARDAN SHAFT CONNECTION Tractor Before assembling the Cardan shaft, the operator must: manual • Read the Cardan shaft and tractor manual. • Make sure that the number of revs. of the tractor PTO correspond to those of the shredder (the choice of the number of shredder revs. must be made in the purchase phase).
CHECK THE STABILITY OF THE TRACTOR-SHRED- DER COMPLEX Shredder weight changes the stability of the tractor shredder complex, in- fl uencing steering and braking capability. Therefore proceed at a moderate speed. In particular, remember that the front axis must always be encum- bered by a weight equal to at least 20% of the total weight of the tractor- shredder complex.
MACHINING Once all controls and regulations have been performed, with the tractor connected to the shredder (via 3 point hitch,but with Cardan shaft discon- nected), switch the tractor on and go to the work area, remembering to keep the shredder lifted so that the tools do not touch the ground (at least 20 cm). To activate the shredder, the operator must refer to the tractor manual, be- cause the controls are located inside the tractor cab.
