MACHINE ATTACHMENT

Attachment of the machine should always be performed on a firm level site.
CAUTION: During the attachment procedure bystanders must be kept at a safe distance
from the machine at all times. Never operate the tractors linkage system or machine
controls when persons are standing on, or working between, the tractor and machine.
PTO NOTE: Due to the close coupled design of the machine it is advisable to fit the PTO
shaft to the machines gearbox stub axle prior to attaching the machine to the tractor. On
initial installation the machine will need to be attached without the PTO fitted in order to
measure for the required shaft length – In some cases the machine will then need to be
removed from the tractor and subsequently refitted with the PTO pre-attached.
Attach stabiliser to machine frame at points 'A' -
selecting a mid-point position initially – secure
with nuts and bolts provided. Fit top link at
points 'B' and secure with pins & lock pins.
Fit PTO shaft to the stub axle of the machines
gearbox. NOTE: for initial installation of a new
machine or attachment to a different tractor refer
to PTO note at top of page.
Fit lower link balls and spacers into lower frame
connection points and secure with linkage and
lock pins – place spacers to position lower link
balls for best alignment with tractor lower links.
