Page 15: Working Preparation
Working preparation Hitching to the tractor For hitching, choose a place as flat as possible. 1º) Traction bar If it is possible, keep the traction bar in the shortest position during working. • Couple the rotary cutter to the traction bar using a hitch pin and cotter pin. If necessary, use the hydraulic jack (A), which has an adjustment to lift or descend the drawbar in order to facilitate the hitching. - Page 16 Working preparation 2º) Power take-off First of all, verify the length of the cardan shaft in the following way: • Separate the cardan shaft and couple the 'female' part to the PTO. • Steer the tractor wheel until it touches the rotary cutter drawbar. •...
- Page 17 Working preparation • It is important to give finish working in the cut parts. For this purpose, use a filer. Soon after, remove the filing and lubricate the 'male' with a fine layer of grease. • Decrease the length of both protective covers, using the cut tubes as a measure and clean the cut residues.
- Page 18 Working preparation Transporting position When it is time to transport the rotary cutter, activate the articulation cylinders and place the locks (A). Activate the hydraulic cylinders of the wheelset and place the transporting lock (B). NOTE Never activate the tractor PTO when the rotary cutter is in transporting position.

Page 30: Reversion Or Replacement Of The Blades
Maintenance Reversion or replacement of the blades Inspect blades before each use to determine that they are properly installed and in good conditions. Replace any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn or has any other damage. Besides that, the blades must be reversed or replaced as soon as some cutting imperfection is being noticed. - Page 31 Maintenance When replacing the blades, observe that ATTENTION they are supplied in pairs, which should be kept together until assembled on the cutter spindle. Unbalanced blades may cause excessive vibration and can damage bearings, retainers and the transmission box. The discrepancy in weight of these blades is within the tolerance specified in the project.
