Mounting Behind The Tractor - LELY SPLENDIMO 320 MC Betriebsanleitung

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.
Depending on the method of mowing, the machine is
positioned directly next to the tractor tyres, or offset to a
certain extent. When combined with a front mower, the rear
mower should be so adjusted that a sufficient overlap is
ensured. If the tractor has category III linkage points, the
linkage pins should be so fitted that the category III sides are
pointing outwards.
- Choose the position whereby the drive element is removed
totally beyond the tractor track. Take care that the tractor
tyres do not drive across the mown swaths during the
following working passes.
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 or III top link pin.
- Lift the headstock to such an extent that the pivot pin of the
main shaft (fig. 4) is approx. 70 cm over 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*.
• Fit the safety chain of the protection tube to a rigid part of
the tractor.
- Connect the hydraulic hoses with the blue mark to a double
acting tractor valve. The hose with the white mark should be
connected to a single acting valve (or – if provided – to the
second double acting valve).
- Open the valve on the ram (transport lock, fig. 6).
- Check if the lever arms remain at an equal height when the
cutter bar is folded up.
