Agregation To A Tractor; Hydraulics - Farmet FANTOM FX 470 NS Operating Manual

8.1 Agregation to a tractor

• The machine can be connected only to a tractor, whose curb weight is identical or higher than
the overall weight of the connected machine.
• The machine operator must observe all generally valid regulations of work safety, health
protection, fire safety, and environmental protection.
• The operator may connect the machine exclusively to a tractor that is equipped with a rear
three-point suspension and a functional undamaged hydraulic system.
• The table of requirements for the towing means for work with the machine:

* Recommended towing means, the real towing force may significantly vary according to the processing
depth, soil conditions, land slope, working body wear and adjustment
• Connect the machine using the TPS suspension bar to the lower arms of the rear TPS of the tractor,
secure the TPS arms using pins against disconnecting
• The machine aggregated with the tractor changes the distribution of the weight to the individual axles of
the tractor. The weight of the front axle is reduced and therefore the controllability gets worse. It also
affects braking properties
When connecting, no persons may stay in the space between the tractor and the machine.

8.2 Hydraulics

• Connect the hydraulics only when the hydraulic circuits of the machine and the tractor
(aggregate) are in a pressure-less condition.
• The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Regularly check for leaks and immediately
remove obvious damage of all lines, hoses, and pipe unions.
• When seeking and removing leaks, use only the suitable tools.
• For connecting the hydraulic system of the machine to the tractor, use the plug (on the
machine) and the socket (on the tractor) of the quick-couplers of the same type. Perform the
connection of the quick-couplers of the machine to the hydraulic circuits of the tractor so that
the folding of the side frames (BLUE and WHITE DUST CAP) is on one control circuit.
In order to prevent accidental or foreign person (children, passengers) caused movement of the
hydraulics, the control switchboards on the tractor must be secured or blocked in the transport
position.
Parts of the hydraulic system of the machine, which are under pressure, are forbidden to
disassemble. Hydraulic oil that penetrates the skin under high pressure causes severe injuries.
In case of injury, seek a physician immediately.
