Coupling - Nogueira VMN 4.0 Manual De Instrucciones

Coupling

Perform the following operations after arriving at the destination:
1) Couple the wagon tow bar to the tractor:
The wagon must be coupled to a tractor, heavy enough, as to guarantee when towing, the tractor can
stop completely safely (even when fully loaded) and, not under the weight as prescribed by the
applicable laws appropriate for the towed weight.
Verify in the booklet on tractor transportation the vertical load limit for towing; it must be over what is
specified on the tow bar label.
Adjust the tow bar height, so that the wagon remains parallel to the ground when coupled.
2) Couple the wagon driveshaft to the tractor
power take-off. The machine is equipped with
the driveshaft coupler. Before mounting the
driveshaft between the wagon and the tractor,
consult the specific instruction manual; check
if the tractor is equipped with rearview mirrors,
in order to guarantee visibility on both sides.
Check if there is any part of the driveshaft is
damaged, check the rotation of the shielding
tubes, and the movement of the cross pieces;
lubricate if necessary.
CAUTION:
Avoid sharp turns when the driveshaft if rotating.
NOTE: Before operating the machine, fasten the protective chain to the respective hook,
fig.2 (this operation must be performed when the tractor is turned off and the key is out of the
ignition).
CAUTION:
If the protections are damaged, replace them immediately.
3) Connect the electric driveshaft of the
wagon "only" (fig.3) to the female cable
(fig.3A) supplied with the series designed for
connection to the tractor battery (fig.3B).
CAUTION:
Do not connect to other power take-offs of the tractor!!
4) Hook up the fast connect couplings (fig.4) of the hydraulic system to the tractor, check the correct
direction of the oil flow. The hydraulic pressure in the system must abide by the recommendations as:
MAX 210 bar, MIN 120 bar.
