Set-up instructions Parking jack position After coupling the disk harrow to the tractor, place the parking jack (A) on transport/ operation position. When uncoupling or storing the GNACR, set the parking jack to transport position. Transport Transport position position Important recommendations The tractor drawbar must remain loose during transportation and fixed during working.
Before lowering the lateral frames, remove the safety lock (B) and set ATTENTION it to working position again. This procedure must be done to avoid damages to the hydraulic cylinders. GNACR Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A.
Try to make a good finish between the passes. Avoid the formation of furrows or untilled bands. The tractor and equipment drawbars must be as aligned as possible related to the working direction. GNACR Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A.
Harrowing in level Harrowing in level Note that the harrowed soil is always on the left hand side of the IMPORTANT operator. Being the disc gangs lowered, only maneuver to the left hand side. GNACR Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A.
It is necessary to perform the maneuvers to the left hand side to avoid ATTENTION overloading the equipment and allow it to operate normally.
