optimal cutting height adjustment
▪
the nature of the soil
A good cut is obtained at a low ground speed and with the blade rotor turning at high speed.
The speed of the tractor when the machine is operation must not exceed 6-8 kph or components could be broken or dama-
Stones or other sharp objects may be thrown up by the spinning blades during work. Constantly check to make sure that
there are no bystanders, children or domestic animals within the range of action of the machine.
4.1.1 SHREDDING DEGREE ADJUSTMENT
Cutting height regulation is a dangerous operation. Wear work gloves and use suitable tools in a good condition.
Proceed in the following way to adjust the cutting height:
1.
Park the tractor on a flat surface and hitch the machine then raise it with
the power lift
2.
Place two strong stands at the sides of the machine to protect yourself if it
should fall
3.
Lower the machine on to the stands, turn off the tractor engine and apply
the parking brake
The cutting height is established by the position of the bearing roller on the
machine (Fig. 6). To change the position, slacken off the bolts (1 Fig. 6) on both
sides, then remove them from one side and move the roller either down or up
depending on the required cutting height. Fit the bolts back in place and repeat
the operation on the other side. Now carefully tighten all the bolts. A taller
cutting height is obtained with the roller in the lower position while the cutting
height will be shorter when the roller is higher up. This is because the machine
is furthered or neared from or to the ground. Once the bearing roller has been adjusted and the machine lowered to the ground,
adjust the third point of the machine so that it is parallel to the ground.
4.2.2 SIDE SHIFT
Operate the movement and pivoting rams with caution to avoid hitting or colliding with unseen objects.
Fit the quick couplings of the hose pipe ends into the relative taps on the tractor in order to operate the pivoting and movement
rams. The tractor needs 2 double-acting control valves (4 oil taps) to operate both the rams and the hoses must be fitted in pair
on each control valve. The manoeuvres will be controlled from the tractor, using the levers of the tractor's hydraulic control valves.
Never swerve sharply or change direction when the machine is working.
Never ever reverse when the machine is on the ground.
