1. INTRODUCTION
It is important that there is direct access to the 12-volt battery of the tractor and that it
is in a good condition.
Always choose a tractor with a closed cabin when working with a precision chopper.
CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION
Always make sure that nobody is standing between
the tractor and the machine during connection and
disconnection. An unintentional manoeuvre with the
tractor may cause serious injury (see fig. 1-3). When
disconnecting it is important that the ground is even
and stable so that the machine does not move and
injure persons or cause damage to other equipment.

Check that the machine is intended for the number
and the direction of rotation of the tractor PTO. (see
figure 1-4). A wrong number of rotations over a long
period may damage the machine and at worst result
in ejection of parts through the delivery chute.
Make sure that the PTO drive shaft has been
mounted correctly, i.e. that the lock pin is in mesh and
that the support chain has been fastened at both
ends.

The PTO drive shaft must be correctly protected. If the guard is damaged it must be
replaced immediately.
Check that all hydraulic couplings are tight and that all hoses and fittings are
undamaged before activating the hydraulic system.
When parking the machine and after the tractor engine has stopped make sure that
there is no pressure in the hydraulic hoses by activating the tractor hydraulic spool
valves.
Hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin
and cause serious infections. You should always
protect the skin and the eyes against oil splashes
(see fig. 1-5). If, by accident, hydraulic oil under
pressure hits you, consult a doctor immediately.
