3. OPERATION
3.1 Connect the Splendimo to the Tractor
1. Adjust the 3-point hitch on the tractor until the arms are at the same
height.
2.
Connect the two lower arms of the 3-point hitch to the linkage pins on
the headstock.
3. If necessary, install spacers on the linkage pins to make sure the lower
arms are the correct distance apart.
4. Connect the top link of the 3-point hitch to the headstock.
The maximum pressure of the tractor hydraulic system must not be more
that 21.0 MPa (210 bar).
5. Remove the dust caps from the three hydraulic hoses.
6. Connect the two hydraulic hoses to a double-acting hydraulic valve on
the tractor.
7. Connect the hydraulic hose to a single-acting hydraulic valve on the
tractor.
8. Use the tractor hydraulic system to lift the headstock until the pivot pins
of the support arms are approximately 60 cm above the ground.
9. Move the two front parking jacks on the headstock to the highest
position.
10. Move the rear parking jack on the headstock to the highest position.
11. If necessary, install stabilization chains (or rods) on the tractor lower
arms to prevent lateral movement.
12. Make sure no lateral movement is possible.
The first time you connect the Splendimo to each tractor, refer to the
instructions supplied with the PTO shaft and make sure the minimum and
maximum overlap of the two parts of the PTO shaft is correct.
13. Make sure the primary PTO shaft telescopes smoothly.
14. Connect the primary PTO-shaft to the tractor PTO.
15. Connect the safety chain of the PTO shaft to a rigid part of the tractor.
16. Put the end of the ram-lock operating cord in the tractor cab.
17. If an electrically controlled hydraulic system is installed:
1. Use the magnet to attach the control box to a rigid metal part of
the tractor cab.
2. Connect the power supply cable of the control box to a suitable
connector in the tractor cab.
18. Connect the lighting electrical cable to the correct socket on the tractor.
19. Make sure all the lights on the Splendimo operate correctly.
