5.9 Attaching the machine to a tractor
1. Reverse the tractor up to the machine, lining up the hitch of the tractor with the
hitch of the machine.
2. Fit the tow pin to the hitch, ensuring it is secure. Attach the safety chain to the
tractor. The safety chain must be attached in such a way that if the coupling
breaks, the hitch or drawbar cannot make contact with the ground.
3. Screw the jack up off the ground, into the transport position.
4. Attach all hydraulic hoses to the tractor.
5. Plug the 7-pin lighting plug into the 7-pin socket on the tractor.
6. Place the electronic box in the tractor cab and secure it in an appropriate place.
If there is no cab on the tractor, secure as appropriate, bearing in mind the box
is not waterproof.
7. Screw the 37-pin socket on the electronic box into the 37-pin plug on the
machine. Ensure that the cable to the machine is not under tension and is clear
of sharp edges, etc.
8. Connect the control box to the tractor battery using the fused electric power
cable provided or to the 12 V socket of the tractor, ensuring to route away from
sharp edges and hot surfaces. There must be a good 12 V supply to the control
box.
9. Check that all functions operate correctly. The machine is now ready to work.
CAUTION: Tractor drawbar and coupling device must be
compatible
Check that the tractor drawbar is compatible with the coupling device
on the machine. If in doubt, consult your McHale dealer.
