Hitching And Unhitching From Tractor - PRONAR VMP-5ST Manual

SECTION 2
• Before using the machine always check its technical condition, and in particular:
technical condition of the drawbar, hydraulic system, safety guards and air
pressure in tyres.
• The user is obliged to acquaint himself with the principles of safe operation,
adjustment methods and inspection points of the mixer feeder and with the risks
resulting from operation and maintenance of the machine.
• People, animal or objects must not be carried on the machine.
• The mixer feeder may be operated only by one person at a time.

2.1.2 HITCHING AND UNHITCHING FROM TRACTOR

• Be especially careful when hitching and unhitching the machine.
• Only hitch the mixer feeder to an agricultural tractor equipped with side mirrors,
which provide visibility on both sides of the machine.
• While hitching the mixer feeder to the tractor, use the appropriate hitch (the lower
transport hitch). After completed hitching of the machines check that the hitch is
properly secured. Carefully read the tractor Operator's Manual. If the tractor is
equipped with an automatic hitch, make certain that the coupling operation is
completed.
• When hitching, there must be nobody between the mixer feeder and the tractor.
• Do NOT hitch the mixer feeder to agricultural tractor, if the tractor does not meet
the requirements specified by the Manufacturer (minimum tractor power demand,
wrong connections etc.) – compare table (1.3) AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR'S
REQUIREMENTS. Before hitching the machine, make certain that oil in the
external hydraulic system of tractor may be mixed with the hydraulic oil in the
machine's hydraulic system.
• When connecting the hydraulic conduits to the tractor, make sure that the
hydraulic systems of the tractor and mixer feeder are not under pressure. If
necessary, reduce residual pressure in the system.
• Before hitching the mixer feeder, check that both machines are in good technical
condition. In particular, check the hitching system and hydraulic system
connectors and sockets on the tractor and mixer feeder.
