Page 14: Assembly
Assembly First of all, put the parts in a clean place to identify them easier. Check the parts using the list that comes inside the packing box. Using the set of wrenches • Use two box wrenches (A) to tighten the nuts of the disc gangs, one to hold the axis nut on one side while the other tight the nut to the other end, thereby preventing the axis from rotating. - Page 15 Assembly Assembly of bearings and spacer spools GNF - 36 GNF - 40 GNF - 44 GNF - 48 GNF - 52 GNF - 56 Marchesan Implementos e Máquinas Agrícolas “TATU” S.A.

Page 23: Hydraulic Cylinder To Open Or Close The Gangs
• The rod stops come along with the cylinder and they must be assembled in the cylinder rod. • If the GNF has 64 - 72 disc blades, the cylinder must be coupled to the bar (A) and to the front chassis. -
Page 24: Working Preparation
Working preparation The following instructions must be carefully observed in order to get the best work performance. Tractor preparation The addition of ballast water in the tires and a set of weights on the front part and rear wheels of the tractor are the most used ways to increase the soil traction and give greater stability to the tractor. -
Page 25: Adjustments And Operations
Adjustments and operations Cutting depth adjustment The cutting depth is adjusted by the following points: 1) Disc gangs opening. • Increase the (A) opening between the gangs to work in soils with greater difficult to penetrate the disc blades. In light and loose soils, it is appropriate to work with a smaller opening angle. - Page 26 Adjustments and operations 2) Traction bar angle. • In medium soils, the traction bar works in the central hole of the upper and lower plates. • Use the first hole (A) to get the smallest disc blades penetration angle. Displace the bar to the other holes in order to increase the penetration angle.

Page 35: Average Income Table
To know how many hours will be spent to work a certain previously known area, it is necessary to divide the value of the area by the hourly income. Example: An area of 50 hectares to be worked with a GNF of 48 disc blades (Hourly income = 3,63 ha). -
