    START-UP INJURY HAZARD! Only qualified operators who have read and understood the safety instructions  can perform the operations described below. Moreover, they must check that there  are  no  persons,  animals  and  properly  exposed  in  the  area  where  the  connection is made to the tractor. The operator and any assistants must have PPE (Personal Protection Equipment)  available and use it as required. The Tiller can only be moved and used if connected to the tractor.
  • Page 20: Pto Drive Shaft Coupling

    PTO DRIVE SHAFT COUPLING Before installing the PTO drive shaft, the operator must: • Read and understand the manual of the PTO drive shaft and of the tractor; • Check that the number of revs. and the direction of rotation of the tractor PTO correspond to those of the Tiller.
  • Page 21: Check The Stability Of The Tractor-Tiller Complex

    CHECK THE STABILITY OF THE TRACTOR-TILLER COMPLEX. Tiller weight changes the stability of the tractor-Tiller complex, influencing steering  and braking capability. Therefore proceed at a moderate speed. In particular, it should be noted that the front axle must always be carrying a load of at least 20%  of the weight of the tractor-Tiller unit. Check the lifting capacity and stability of the tractor using the following formula and, if necessary, before applying the front weights.

    Tiller or to the universal joint. WARNING! SICMA shall not be liable for damage deriving from incorrect modification of the  clutch calibration. However, adjustment becomes necessary if the clutch is triggered too frequently, while operating on easily machinable soils, i.e. neither hard nor compact: this means that the clutch calibration is too low.
  • Page 23: Lateral Shift Adjustment

    LATERAL SHIFT ADJUSTMENT The SF tiller allows manual or hydraulically operated lateral movement (optional). WARNING! Adjustment of the lateral movement must be performed with the tiller raised above the ground and not during the work phase in order to preserve its structural integrity. MANUAL DRIVE With the tiller slightly raised above the ground: •...
  • Page 24: Stops

    Only the technical sensitivity of the operator, the result of his/her own particular experience, allows maintaining of the correct rotation speed of the tractor engine  based on the specific use. In  case  of  soil  that  is  difficult  to  work  (hard,  stony,  etc.),  reduce  the  speed  by  approx. 2 km/h; RECOMMENDATION! In cold weather, it is a good idea to start the equipment at low speed to allow the Tiller to reach the right operating temperature.
  • Page 25: Cleaning

    EMERGENCY STOP The emergency stop procedure should be carried out in the event of a hazard or malfunction and consists of: • Turn off the PTO to stop the Tiller and stop the tractor; • Engage the parking brake; • Turn off the engine, remove the start key and keep it; • Identify the cause of the emergency stop and, if necessary, consult the “Troubleshooting” table (sec. 14.2).
