Preparation
Preparing the
machine
The machine is divided into its main components for transport to the
user. The machine must be assembled in accordance with the specific
assembly instructions delivered with each machine.
The following chapter is for initial assembly and shortening of the PTO
shaft, etc. For further assembly, only the defined attachment points
should be used.
Initial connection of the machine
Exercise caution when a new machine is connected for the first time.
Ensure that all safety instructions are complied with.
Following the safety instructions will increase your personal safety.
Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious injuries
and accidents.
Swivel hitch
Checking the rpm
Maintain the rotational speed on the tractor PTO outlet
It is dangerous to connect a tractor with PTO = 1000 rpm to a machine
intended for PTO = 540 rpm.
The machine is not designed for this speed.
It can result in damage to the machine and be dangerous to any
persons in the vicinity.
The swivel gear can be switched to 2 modes, so that both rotational
speeds, 540 rpm or 1000 rpm, can be used.
From the factory the machine is adapted to tractors that run at 1000
RPM on the PTO.
The swivel gear's rpm can be checked in 2 ways:
The swivel gear is factory-fitted with a sign that gives the tractor's PTO
shaft rpm.
• If the sign shows 1000 rpm, the machine must run at a rotational
speed of 1000 rpm.
• If the sign shows 540 rpm, the machine must run at a rotational
speed of 540 rpm.
