4.13 HOW TO WORK
Use in the eld
Hitch the machine to the tractor correctly and proceed in the following way;
- Using the power lift controls, lower the machine until the rear roller rests on the ground and the tools are near to the
ground without touching it.
- Engage the PTO and gradually accelerate the tractor engine until the PTO is spinning at the required speed (540 or
1000 rpm).
It is highly inadvisable to exceed this rate as the machine has been sized to provide its utmost efciency at
these speeds.
- Engage the gear and begin to work.
- Adjust the work height with the power lift controls if necessary. Remember that the cutting tools (knives or hammers) must
not touch the ground (g.27).
- Modify the speed of the tractor if necessary (see table of recommended speeds).
- Adjust the position of the roller to raise or lower the cutting height from the ground (min. height 3 cm).
Ground speed
- Remember that the tractor’s ground speed must be regulated to suit the type and quantity of material being cut as an
excessive speed will damage the transmission components and make them quickly wear out.
This will result in a poor quality cut while coarse material could be thrown up having overcome the envisaged safety limits
owing to greater inertia.
CAUTION
The speed of the tractor with the machine working must not exceed 10 Km/hr in order to avoid breakage or dam-
ages (g.28).
DANGER
Stones or other sharp objects may be thrown up by the turning tines during the soil working phase.
Always constantly check that there are no persons, children or domestic animals in the eld of action of the machine.
The operator must also pay attention to the above.
CAUTION
Avoid idling the machine when away from the ground. While at work, avoid working in reverse gear or taking curves
with the machine lowered (g.30).
Always raise the machine when changing direction or reversing gears (g.29).
During transport, and whenever raising the machine becomes a necessity, the hoisting unit of the tractor should
be regulated in order that the shredder is never raised from the ground more than 30-35 cm (g.31).
Do not drive on public highways if the machine is dirtied with soil, grass or anything else that could dirty and/or
hamper the road trafc.
Lower the machine slowly.
Do not allow it to drop violently on to the ground. To do this would strongly stress all the machine components
and could damage them.
