Use e Maintenance ENGLISHIf these two results are not obtained:1. Extend the telescopic tubes completely, insert a tubeon the tractor PTO and the other on the machine.Make sure that the telescopic tubes are locked per-fectly.2. Approach the telescopic tubes of the driveline andfi nd the cutting position, taking into account the 4cm of minimum safety clearance to guarantee againstbreakage.3. Shorten the telescopic tubes to the detected position(A-B, 4.4) (the excess part must be the same lengthon both tubes), trim and clean (C, 4.4) and grease theinside of the external tube (D, 4.4).4. Couple the telescopic tubes and engage the entiredriveline on the PTO.Figure 4.45. Make sure that the upper hitch bar is as parallel aspossible to the lower bars of the hitch.If this is not sufficient, correct the way the top link of thehitch couples to the tractor or machine, as necessary, or atleast considerably attenuate, the jolts to which the drivelineshaft is subjected during the lifting phase.CAUTION!• Telescoping tubes must always overlap by atleast 1/2 of their length in normal operation and atleast 1/3 of their length in all working conditions.When it is inserted all the way, the minimum ad-missible play is 4 cm.• When using the equipment on another tractor,check that conditions are as stated above andcheck that the guards complete ly cover the ro-tating parts of the Cardan shaft.The spare parts must correspond to the manufac-turer’s specifi cations. Use only original spares.ATTENTION!Assemble, operate and disconnect the cardan shaftalways according to information and safety standardssupplied for shaft use, contained in the manual pro-vided by the shaft manufacturer and delivered with theshaft itself.Each cardan shaft is equipped with a use and main-tenance manual. Always carefully follow informationand safety standards supplied for shaft use as con-tained in the manual.Any damage to the machine and/or persons or prop-erty arising from failure to adhere to the above andincorrect use of the PTO shaft are not attributableto MASCHIO GASPARDO S.p.A. and not recognisableunder warranty.4.3 STABILITY OF PLANTINGUNIT AND TRACTOR DUR-ING TRANSPORTWhen a planting unit is coupled to a tractor, so becomingan integral part of it for the purposes of road travel, thestability of the planting unit-tractor complex may changeand cause driving or operating difficulties (rearing up orside-slipping of the tractor). The condition of equilibriumcan be restored by placing a sufficient number of ballastson the front of the tractor so that the weights on the twotractor axles are distributed sufficiently evenly. To work insafety the instructions given in the highway code should befollowed; these prescribe that at least 20% of the weightof the tractor alone should be borne by the front axle andthat the weight on the arms of the hoist should not be morethan 30% of the weight of the tractor itself. These factorsare summarized in the following formulas:Z > [M · (S1 + S2)] − (0.2 · T · i)d + i [kg] (4.1)The symbols have the following meanings (please seeFig. 4.5 for reference):• M (kg)Mass weighing on arms off hoist with full load(weight + mass, see cap 1.3 Identification on pag. 9).• T (kg) Mass of tractor.Cod.
