SETUP
ATTACHMENT TO THE TRACTOR
It is necessary to read up this instruction manual and the manuals of the tractor and cardan shaft
manufacturer.
All SICMA tillers have been manufactured to be attached to any tractor provided with hydraulic
elevator and universal three-point hitch.
Before attaching the equipment to the tractor, set both on a flat and smooth ground and make sure
that nobody is standing between them.
Move slowly the
tractor towards the
tiller by aligning the
tractor elevator’s arms
to the two tiller
hitches’ lateral
gudgeons; stop
engine and pull
parking brake.
Picture 3 Picture 4 In some SICMA tillers it is
possible to adjust the hitches
position.
On ZLL, CS, ST, SM, SP tillers,
adjustment can be made by
loosening bolt B (picture 3) and
modifying the position of plates
A. Tighten strongly all bolts
after regulation (ref. bolts and
nuts tightening table) .
On SA and SB tillers the hitches
regulation can be made by
moving spacing bushings A
(picture 4)
Once the hitches regulation is done, connect the lower arms by removing the release pins of the
gudgeons placed on plates A, inserting the elevator bars into the arms centre and fastening them
with the relevant release pins, which had been removed in precedence.
Connect, afterwards, the tractor tie rod to the
third upper point by removing the pin located
between the plates, inserting the tie rod itself
and locking it with the pin.
Adjust the third point so that the upper part of the
frame is parallel to the ground.
Lock all connection parts with the special sway
chains or tie rods.
It is always good to make sure that the central
group axis (sump/bevel gear pair) is parallel to
the ground thus reducing the stresses on the
power takeoff and extending the working life of
the equipment.
