INSTALLING THE POWER TAKE-OFF SHAFT If the power take-off shaft is too long, it must be shortened as follows: • Position the machine at a minimum distance from the tractor and switch the tractor off completely. • Check the position and, if required, adjust the bolts. •...
SETTING THE WORKING DEPTH Skids CAUTION The following procedures must be carried out once the machine and tractor have been switched off completely and have been uncoupled from each other. The working depth can be set by adjusting the skids with regard to height. Figure 3 •...
IMPORTANT PARTS Three-point hitch: for coupling the machine to the tractor. Power take-off shaft protection: prevents that the user comes into contact with the rotating part of the transmission that is coupled to the power take-off shaft. Gearbox: reduces the rotational speed of the tractor's power take-off shaft. Transmission chain: the movement of the gearbox is transferred to the rotor through the transmission chain.

Page 17
• The machine can plow on a slope with a gradient of 20° at most. If the gradient is higher, the machine may start to vibrate considerably or the power take-off shaft may break (see Fig. 11). • When the operator operates the machine, the plowed soil must always be kept on the right side of the operator.
