5. OPERATION

5.1. Mounting arm on tractor

Extension arm should be mounted on tractor with use of rear 3-point linkage, as provided in Fig.
27. Upon complete mounting of arm adjust machine's alignment on even ground with use of upper link
(1) so that the machine is set horizontally in relation to the ground. Tensioning strands (2) must be
tensioned and set on the same level. Their use ensures a stable position of the tractor-machine set.
The strands are not intended to protect the machine against falling. When using extension arm,
hydraulic actuator should be locked. Strands (2) should be attached to the tractor depending on the
design of hitches on the tractor.

3 - Mounting points on tractor's 3-point linkage
3-point linkage on the lifting device, on which the machine is supported, must be operative
(cannot fall on its own). Additionally it should be locked against accidental falling of lower links on the
3-point linkage.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the tractor's lower strands (lifting/lowering) once the set is
stabilized using the tensioning strands. Otherwise both the machine and the
tractor could be damaged!
WARNING!
The machine cannot be supported on stabilization links. Instead please use
lower links on the 3-point linkage. Failure to follow the above may cause damage
to both the machine and the tractor!
Some tractors (e.g. Kubota) have a valve for 3-point linkage cylinder cut-off. After the machine
is mounted on such tractor make sure to tighten – lift the links on the 3-point linkage, close the valve
and lower the lever for lifting. In tractors without such valve it is recommended to fit one.

5.1.1. Connecting the articulated telescopic shaft (PTO)

Prior to commencing operation, examine and adjust length of PTO shaft, which is designed to
mount machine on tractor. In some cases it is possible, that the shaft is too long and therefore needs
to be shortened, so that there is adequate tolerance for the shortest possible distance between tractor's
shaft and machine's shaft.
