2 MOUNTING BEHIND THE TRACTOR
The headstock is fitted with double linkage pins (category II)
giving two linkage possibilities (fig. 3) and allowing adjust-
ment of the offset position of the machine behind the tractor.
- Choose position for the SPLENDIMO 240 TC mower/
conditioner and position for the SPLENDIMO 280 TC
mower/ conditioner. In this way, the centre of the swath is
positioned underneath the centre of the tractor in the next
pass.
Always use position when mowing down a descending
slope so that you can operate as far from the side as
possible.
- Adjust the tractor 3 point hitch lower arms at equal height.
- Fit the lower arms to the linkage pins of the machine's
headstock.
- Fit the tractor top link to the machine by means of a
category II top link pin.
- Lift the headstock to such an extent that the hinge pin of the
intermediate chassis (fig. 4) is approx. 60 cm above ground
level.
- Place the parking jack in the raised position.
- Secure the tractor lever arms by means of stabilisation
chains or rods keeping the machine from making sideward
movements.
- Check if the PTO shaft telescopes smoothly.
- Fit the PTO shaft to the tractor PTO shaft.
!
At first assembly or use of another tractor: check the
minimum and maximum overlap of the PTO halves
In addition to this, you should check for sufficient overlap
when the anti-shock device goes into operation.
- Fit the safety chain of the protection tube to a rigid part of
the tractor.
- Connect the hydraulic hose to a single acting hydraulic
tractor valve that has a floating position.
- Place the end of the control cord for locking the ram in the
tractor cab.
- Check if the lever arms remain at an equal height when the
cutter bar is folded up.
