• Step backwards with the tractor until arriving in proximity of the lower connections of the fertilizer
spreader.
• Fix the lower connections of the tractor to the pins of the machine and lock them with the safety
plugs.
• Connect the upper linkage of the machine to the 3-point hitch of the tractor putting the appropriate
pin and block the anti-unscrewing device of the 3-point hitch;
• Raise the machine of some centimetres by the ground and operate on the lateral ties of the lifter
bars and on the two turnbuckles, in order to block the lateral movement, so as to prevent excessive
oscillations during the working phase.
The machine must be positioned, through the raising of the lower connections of the tractor, so that
the land distance from the lower extremity of the distributor disc is approximately of 70 cm. To obtain
a regular distribution, it is important that the distributor disc is in horizontal position compared to the
land.
• After having made these operations, the pto shaft must be linked to the splined shaft of the
gearbox of the machine (covered by a safety cowling) and after to the tractor power take-off.
