Page 9: Intended Use Of The Top Cultivator
The manufacturer is not responsible for arbitrary changes to the design of the cultivator. During the warranty period, only factory-made "MANDAM" parts must be used. -
Page 10: Attaching The Tractor
• use work clothes, footwear and gloves when carrying out maintenance work, • permissible axle loads and transport dimensions must not be exceeded, • use only original safety and split pins, • when working with the cultivator, when lifting, lowering and unfolding, there should be no bystanders in the vicinity, especially children, •... -

• keeping a safe distance from danger zones, • prohibition on being on the machine and in the operating area of the machine while the tractor engine is running, • carrying out maintenance work in accordance with safety rules, • use of protective clothing and, if working under machinery, a helmet, •... - Page 13 NOTE! The permissible axle loads and tyre load capacities must not be exceeded. The front axle load must not be less than 20%. The tyre pressure should be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations Axle load calculations Designations: – tractor weight, –...

Actual rear axle load: When connecting the cultivator to the tractor, the cultivator should stand on firm and level ground. When attaching the cultivator to the tractor's three-point hitch, perform the following steps: • switch the tractor's hydraulic system to position control, •... - Page 15 Fig. 4 Connection of the arms with shaft bracket: 1 – tubular shaft; 2 – arms, 3 – shaft bracket. NOTE! The correct procedure for mounting the shafts in the arm holders requires that the bolts be evenly tightened diagonally, so that the entire plane of the arm holders is adjacent to the plane of the shaft clamp profile.

Page 16: Coupling The Cultivator To The Tractor
4.2. Coupling the cultivator to the tractor The tractor wheel tyre pressure should be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The lower links of the three-point hitch should be at an equal height, at a spacing corresponding to the spacing of the lower suspension points. When connecting the cultivator to the tractor, the cultivator should stand on firm and level ground. - Page 17 Fig. 7 Adjusting the depth and distance of the tubular shaft: 1 - working depth adjustment pins with stabilising plate; 2 - shaft arm fixing screw. Fig. 8 Hydraulic adjustment of the roller: 1- cylinder, 2- beam with arm bracket, 3- cylinder bracket. On machines with hydraulic adjustment of working depth, the working depth is set using pawls located at the piston rod of the cylinder.
- Page 18 Working depth cylinder adjustment Fig. 9 Hydraulic adjustment of the cultivator working depth. Fig. 10 Correct way to put the first (1) pawl on the piston rod of the cylinder to adjust the working depth of the machine. Fig. 11 Incorrect installation of pawls on cylinder piston rod. Partial omission of the attachment of the pawls to the cylinder results in uneven distribution of the forces acting on the piston rod and can lead to piston rod buckling resulting in damage to the entire cylinder assembly.
- Page 19 The number of pawls on all shaft arm cylinders must always be equal! It is also possible to change the distance of the shaft from the cultivator frame (screw in Fig. 7). Note that too little distance between the tines and the plates can cause clogging with plant residues.

After lifting the machine, check the clearance under the lowest working elements, which should be at least 25 cm. -
Page 24: Screw Tightening Torque
The service life and efficiency of the machine depend to a large extent on regular lubrication. Mineral lubricants should be used for lubrication. Lubrication points must be thoroughly cleaned before pressing in or applying grease. Fig. 16 Lubrication points on the TOP cultivator. NOTE! It is forbidden to work on a damaged machine caused by any event resulting in a broken, or deformed frame, shaft or other assembly of the machine! -

Page 29: Replacement Procedures
• Tightening is complete when no more than half a turn of the hub is caused by vigorous hand rotation. • Partially loosen the nut until the hub rotates freely and repeat the tightening. • After repeated rotation locking, loosen the nut by 30º max. until the immediate nut locking with the pin is possible. -
Page 30: Disassembly And Disposal
Replacement of working components Excessively worn working components make it difficult for the tools to sink in, increase working resistance and insufficiently mix harvest residues. The working components must be changed on the machine lowered to the ground after the tractor engine has been switched off. -
