STARTING
5.1 COUPLING TO THE TRACTOR
The planter PROSEM is provided with couplings of category
2 and 3.
MAKE SURE THAT NO PERSON OR OBJECT IS EVER BETWEEN
THE PLANTER AND THE TRACTOR WHEN COUPLING OR UN-
COUPLING BOTH MACHINES.
THESE OPERATIONS REQUIRE THE UTMOST ATTENTION TO
PREVENT PHYSICAL INJURIES TO THE PERSON OPERATING
THE MACHINE.
THE COUPLING AND UNCOUPLING MANEUVRES REQUIRE
USING THE SUPPORTING LEGS IN THEIR LOWEST POSITION.
IN MACHINES WITH LONGITUDINAL TRANSPORT TROLLEY
(OPTIONAL), UNPLUG THE TROLLEY’S HYDRAULIC CON-
NECTIONS BEFORE COUPLING THE PLANTER IN WORK PO-
SITION.
For the coupling maneuver, follow these steps:
1a- If the machine is provided with coupling bar (Fig. 5.1),
make sure that the two levers of the three-point linka-
ge are un-fastened and pressed downwards (Fig. 5.3).
Then assemble the quick coupling bar to the rear hy-
draulic links of the tractor and, next, use the tractor to
place the bar in the machine’s holes. Finally, raise the
tractor’s links until you hear “click”. This means that the
bar is correctly placed.
1b- If the machine is not provided with coupling bar (Fig.
5.2), rst place the fast-locking balls in the machine’s
coupling bolts and, next, couple the tractor links to
these bolts.
2- Couple the tractor’s tensioning arm to the third point
of the three-point linkage and place the pin with safety
ring (Fig. 5.4).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT FORGET TO PLACE THE SAFETY
RING.
