3.2 COUPLING TO THE TRACTORS 3-POINT
HITCH
The machine can be coupled to all types of tractor equipped
with a universal three-point hitch.
The pins of the 3-point hitch are mobile and can be adjusted
for class 1 and 2.
Ensure that there is sufficient lighting in the work area if the
visibility is poor and have all bystanders move at least 5
meters away from the hitching point.
Move near with the tractor until the power lift bars match the
3-point hitch of the machine, then couple the implement with
the supplied pins.
The two ball ends must be set to the same height from the
ground.
The machine can be adapted to tractors of different track
widths. Make sure that distance L is about 100 150 mm /
3.93 - 5.9 inches (fig. 4).
If the hitch mounting frame needs to be moved, unscrew
the 4 hex screws M on each link (fig. 6) and position the
pins in the correct way.
WARNING
Insert and tighten the safety pins into the pin holes and
make sure that they are well locked.
Connect the upper rod T of the tractor to the top third point
of the tractor and adjust this correctly.
The axis of fork F must be vertical to the ground (fig. 5).
WARNING
Insert and tighten the safety pins. Lock the safety device
that prevents the third point from unscrewing.
Before hitching or unhitching the machine to/from the
tractors third point, make sure that the control lever position
prevents the machine from being accidentally raised or
lowered.
Push bearing stand P upwards and fix it in place with the
pin and split pin (fig. 5).
Lift the machine a few centimeters from the ground and lock
the side movement with the side rods of the power lift bars.
WARNING
Park the tractor on flat ground to prevent the side load
exercised by the machine from bearing on the rods.
3.2.1 HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
WARNING
The circuit is under high pressure.
Before beginning any maintenance work on the hydraulic
system, turn off the engine (if it is on), apply the hand brake,
remove the ignition keys from the dashboard and lower the
machine to the ground.
Make sure that all pressure has been relieved from the
tractors hydraulic circuit.
Connect the hydraulic pipes with quick couplings to the
tractor after having checked to make sure that all the fittings
are clean and in an excellent condition.
Inspect the hydraulic pipes regularly and replace any
damaged or worn ones.
These pipes must be replaced by competent technicians in
compliance with the technical instructions given by the
Manufacturer.
CAUTION
Make sure that the hydraulic pipes have
been inserted properly and that their
colour codes have been complied with.
Remember that if they are reversed, the
movements they activate will be in the
opposite direction to the ones controlled
(e.g. lifting-lowering).
