Setting-Up The Mowing Machine; Hitching To The Tractor - Gaspardo FBR Plus Gebrauch Und Wartung

3.0.2 SETTING-UP THE MOWING MACHINE

For transport requirements, the mowers are sent with the cutting
unit removed from the frame.
After the two parts have been put back together, it is important to
check carefully that all the screws are tightened correctly (Fig. 12)
after the first 4 to 6 hours of work. Check again after 25 to 30 hours.
A careful periodical check that the screws are tight will help to avoid
unwelcome problems and breaks.
The mowing machine must be set-up on flat and compact ground,
supported by the relative bearing struts (C-D, Fig. 13).

3.0.3 HITCHING TO THE TRACTOR

The mower can be hitched to any tractor equipped with a universal
three-point coupling.
Application of any implement to a tractor is a very dangerous
operation and must only be carried out with the utmost care
in compliance with the instructions.
The correct tractor/mower position is established by setting the
implement at such a distance from the tractor that the universal
coupling remains 5-10 cm from its maximum closing position.
Now proceed in the following way:
1) Hook the oscillating arms of the tractor to pins (G and H, Fig. 14).
The hoisting arm (O, Fig. 15) must be fixed underneath the
tractor arm. Lock in place with the snap-in split pins.
2) Connect the upper third-point and correctly regulate by means
of the adjuster (E, Fig. 14). Place plate (F, Fig.14) at the left side
of the hicht integral with the same pin. Lock in place with the
snap-in split pins.
3) Lock the lift links using the relative chains (I, Fig. 14) and
couplings parallel to the tractor. This operation must be carried
out to prevent the machine from moving in a horizzontal direction.
4) Engage the cardan shaft and check that it is perfectly locked on
the pto. Check that the guard is free to turn and fix it with the
relative latch (Fig. 16).
