ON RECEIPT OF THE EQUIPMENT
- Make sure there is no foreign body in the duster
hopper.
- Axle in "narrow-width" position.
To obtain the large-width position, reverse the
wheels.
HITCHING THE MACHINE TO THE TRACTOR
- Hitch the equipment to tractor using the
ringended bar of tractor. (figure 1).
This harnessing system, alone, permits :
- Height adjustment (1).
- Swivelling of harnessing point in both axles.
- Correct function of harnessing shaft.
- If necessary, cut the CV joint transmission
shaft.
To do this, consult and comply with the
manufacturer's instructions and make sure the
two-half-shafts are of equal length.
IMPORTANT (figure 2)
Minimum interlocking distance is 25 to 30 cms
when the tractor and the equipment are in line.
Maximum interlocking distance : the tubes must
not be in contact. Make sure there is play of at
least 10 cms in the minimum turning position.
- Check pressure of tyres (2,2 bar).
- Grease CV joint transmission shaft and
bearings.
- Check tension of belts (figure 3)
(before each treatment)
Proceed as follows :
Drawing (A) : Orientate pulley (1) and unscrew
the four nuts (2).
Drawing (B) : Swivel the pulley (1) through 45°.
Unscrew nut (3), then act on
screw (4).
Drawing (C) : Once the drive belt is correctly
tensioned, drive the nut (3) home.
Drawing (D) : Swivel the pulley (1) through 45°
again, then drive the nuts (2) home
in the opposite direction.
IMPORTANT : If the fan belt "squeaks" there is
either too little tension or the clutch has been
released too suddenly.
CAUTION !
THIS PHENOMENON IS DAMAGING.
