Fig. 14B Locking the frame in the working position: Once unfolded, place the bolt and nut (3) on the eye of
the side frame (2) and turn to lock with the mid frame (1).
A properly hitched cultivator should follow the tractor evenly during operation and loosen
the soil uniformly over the entire working width. For longitudinal levelling, use the
tractor's top link (turnbuckle), while for transverse levelling, use the crank on the tractor's
right-hand suspension.
The working speed of the TOP cultivator under normal operating conditions should be 8 -
12 km/h.
The machine must be raised before turning and during reverse travel.
Remember to remove the hinge lock before lifting the side arms into the transport
position.
