ENGLISH Use e Maintenancement tie rod (3, Fig. 4.2) make sure that when themachine is in work position (see § 4.7.1 on the 27), itis perpendicular to the ground (Fig. 4.2).3. Block the movement of the parallels of the tractor onthe horizontal plane using the stabilizers provided, soeliminating the side swaying of the equipment. Checkthat the tractor hoisting arms are positioned at thesame height from the ground.4. Connect the cardan shaft and make sure that it is per-fectly blocked on the power take-off (Fig.4.3). Checkthat the guard turns freely and fix it with the chainprovided. Working under these conditions limits thestress on the power take-off itself and prolongs theduration of the Cardan shaft and the machine itself.5. Connect the electrical plugs for the electronic controlsystem.6. Connect the electrical plug for the rear road lights.7. Lift and remove the storage wheels (optional).4.1.2 Unhooking the machine from thetractorDANGER!Unhooking the machine from the tractor is a verydangerous operation. Great caution must be used andthe whole operation must be carried out following theinstructions.1. Attach the storage wheels (optional). See §4.7.11.2. Lower the machine slowly until it is completelyresting on the ground. See § 4.7.11.3. Disconnect the electrical plugs for the electronic con-trol systems and protect them with the specific caps.4. Disconnect the electrical plug for the rear road lights.5. Unhook the Cardan shaft from the tractor and placeit on the provided hook.6. Loosen and unhook the third point, following the firstand second.4.2 ADAPTING THE CARDANSHAFTThe Cardan shaft, supplied with the machine, is of stan-dard length. It might, therefore, be necessary to adapt thecardan shaft. Should this be the case, before proceeding,consult the Manufacturer.1. Hitch the machine to the tractor and stabilize the trac-tor’s third point with the device installed for that pur-pose (bar, chain, etc.). Connection is correct whenthe machine is horizontal in the operating position.2. Turn off the engine, engage the parking brake, re-move the ignition key from the control panel and en-sure that nobody can get near the assembly.3. Connect the driveline shaft to the tractor’s PTO. Con-nection is correct when the machine is horizontal inthe operating position. To achieve this, increase ordecrease the length of the top bar of the hitch.Check length prior in order to prevent:• If too long: HARMFUL THRUSTS ON THE MACHINESHAFT.• If too short: POSSIBILITY OF DANGEROUSBREAKAGE OR SLIPPAGE OF THE PTO SHAFT.Inspections at work:• The two angles (α) formed by the fork axes and theaxis of the sliding tubes will be equal and must notexceed 10◦.• Telescoping tubes must always overlap by atleast 1/2 of their length in normal operation andat least 1/3 of their length in all working condi-tions. During maneuvers, when the driveline isnot rotating, the telescoping tubes must have asuitable overlap to maintain the tubes aligned andallow then to slide freely.Inspections in the raised position:• Proceed with a lifting action (tractor PTO disen-gaged).• The two tubes of the driveline shaft must not fullyoverlap. There must always be a safety travel of atleast 4 cm.• The angles (α) of the drivelines must not exceed 40◦.22- EN Cod. F07011577
