Page 30: Starting Up
STARTING UP HITCHING Before hitching the machine, make sure that there is sufficient ballast on the front axle of the tractor. Ballast should be added to the special supports according to the tractor manufacturer’s instructions. The front axle load must be not be less than 20% of the unladen tractor weight. - Page 31 Mounted Machine The Minotor can be attached to all tractors with a standardised three-point lift. It is equipped as standard with a category 2 linkage, complete with a 28 mm dia. trunnion drawbar, 825 mm long between the ball joints. - Position the drawbar on the lifting arms.
- Page 32 - When the tractor engine has been coupled up, adjust the upper link length so that the machine is resting firmly on the ground (photo 3). - Insert the upper link pin (photo 3) and fit the locking pin. - Once the machine is hitched to the tractor, stabilise the three-point linkage laterally with the special device (bars, chains, shims, etc.) (photo 4).

Page 35: Connections
UNIVERSAL DRIVE - At maximum extension, there must be a tube overlap of A = 330 mm (Fig. 4). Fig. 4 Fig. 5 - At maximum overlap (with the drive shaft compressed), there must be a safety gap of B = 20 mm to prevent the tubes striking the jaws (Fig. - Page 36 The hydraulic connection to the tractor may be made in one of three ways: 1. Single-acting distributor pressure and direct return to tank. 2. Double-acting distributor pressure and return to second orifice of the same distributor (beware of direction of oil flow) 3.

ADJUSTING THE DELIVERY CHUTE - The MINOTOR delivery chute can now be set to two positions: 1. A wide opening for the distribution of fibrous products (long hay, round bales of haylage, etc.) (photo 1). 2. A narrow opening for the distribution of fine-cut products and straw blowing (photo 2). -
Page 38: No-Load Tests
NO-LOAD TESTS Do not stand in the working area of the machine. Before starting up, the user must familiarise himself with the machine’s operating controls and their respective functions. Once work has begun, it will be too late. Before starting up the machine, check around the machine (beware of children!). -
Page 39: Operation
MACHINE OPERATION Read carefully before starting up the machine. The machine must be used by one person only.

DISTRIBUTION MOUNTED AND SEMI-MOUNTED MINOTOR 3050 / MINOTOR 3060 Before getting down from the tractor or before any operations on the machine, lay the machine on the ground, switch off the engine, remove the key from the ignition and wait until all moving parts are at a standstill. - Page 42 Silage distribution - The turbine should be set to 270 min - Engage the tractor PTO. - Start up the tractor hydraulics and bring up to nominal speed. - Position the chute so that the silage is correctly channelled towards the floor or a manger. - Release the grab slightly to ensure that the product is not packed too tightly.
- Page 43 Straw bedding - The fan should be set to 540 min - Engage the tractor PTO. - Start up the tractor hydraulics and bring up to nominal speed. - Position the chute so that the straw is projected where required. - For even spreading, the bale must remain in permanent contact with the beater bar without over- jamming it with the claw.
- Page 44 Note: Should the turbine or beater bar become jammed, use the hook mounted inside the housing on the left-hand side of the machine (see photo below) to pull out the jammed product at the distribution chute or beater bar, then use a lever to ensure that the turbine can rotate freely.

Page 45: Distribution From A Belt-Driven Minotor 3060
BELT-DRIVEN MINOTOR 3060 Always start the PTO before engaging the belt drive and always disengage the belt drive before stopping the PTO. Failure to comply with this procedure will result in a blockage. Always start the beater bar with the conveyor speed set to zero. Always check that the fan is set to 270 min for silage and haylage and 540 for straw. -
