INSTALLING

PTO shaft with clutch

The PTO shaft can be equipped with safety clutch to

protect the transmission components of the machine

from stress and/or excessive overloads.

The tilt of the PTO shaft must not exceed 10 degrees.

The clutch is already pre-adjusted for average stress. If it

slips too easily (and overheats), it will be necessary to

evenly tighten all the nuts (D) that retain the springs.

The clutch disks must be changed if the clutch still slips

after all the nuts have been tightened.

If the clutch does not slip, evenly unscrew all the spring

fixing nuts (D). Unscrew one turn at a time and check the

clutch after having worked about 300 meters. Repeat the

operationifnecessary, rememberingtounscrewoneturn

at a time. If the clutch maintains a temperature of about

40-50 (104-122 °F) degrees during work, this means that

it has been correctly regulated.

OPERATING

Adjusting leveling board

Besides supporting the levelling plate and acting as a

shock absorber for it during road transport, the spring

ram (1) prevents the machine from overturning when

parking.

To adjust the spring pre-loading, screw or unscrew the

upper nut (2) using the spring adjuster.

The effect of the levelling plate on the soil can be

increased or decreased depending on the position,

established by of the nut (2) in the various holes in the

ram (3).

1. Lower leveling board to top of ground (C):

• Tilled soil (D) will be fine and level.

• Tractor speed will determine size of clods (E).

2. Raise leveling board (C):

• Tilled soil (D) will be coarse and rough.

• Tractor speed will determine size of clods (E).

CAUTION: Before you work around hitch:

• STOP engine.

• LOCK park brake.

• FIRMLY block tiller on horizontal surface

Change speed

Rotary harrows are equipped with a gearshift with one

pair of gears. Avariety of rotation speeds of the rotor can

be obtained so that the needs of the operator can be

better met.

It is very useful for land which is uneven in that it makes

rotary hoeing easy and at the same time allows the trac-

tor to be maintained at a constant speed.

To change tiller speed you must:

1) Unscrew its bolds and remove the rear cover of the

gearbox.

CAUTION: Watch out: oil will come out.

2) It is advisable to bend the rotary cultivator forwards.

3) Pull the gears off their shafts and invert the position

of their seats.

Operating - Page 15

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

OPERATING

The name-plate on the cover gives the number of teeth of the gear pair originally installed by the Manufac-

turer, furthermore, as on page 4 of this handbook, there are the speeds pertainig to the pairs of gears

monuted on purchase, plus of the spare pairs.

Each rotary cultivator with gear change has a label which indicates the gear couple mounted as first

equipment. The label is attached to the third-point.

CAUTION: Be very careful and ensure to use the right gears, since some gear pairs can-

not be inverted, and gears from different pairs cannot be interchanged. Strictly comply

whith the pairs of gears indicated, in the chart on page 4.

Optimum tilling depends on two factors:

1) Forward speed of the tractor.

2) Rotation speed of the blade-carrying rotor.

The faster the rotor rotates, the more chopped up the soil will be.

Tilling tips

Before You till:

• Pick up rocks and foreign objects.

• Mow tall weeds and grass to keep them from wrapping around tines or tine shaft.

• Check tines. Loose, bent, broken, or missing tines reduce operating efficiency. If necessary, replace

tines.

Test the soil by squeezing it in your hand. If soil forms a ball, it is too wet to till. If soil does not compress

easily or falls apart, it is ready to till.

DO NOT till when soil is wet. Wet soil will stick to the tines and tine shaft. Wet soil will also dry out and

become hard, making it hard to work with during the growing season.

During tilling

CAUTION: Never lower tiller into the ground while the tractor is turning.

• DO NOT back up or make sharp turn with tiller in ground.

• Move PTO switch lever to ON when tiller is out of the ground. Move tractor forward and lower tiller into

the ground.

• When you till hard ground or sod, till at a shallow depth on first pass. Increase depth on each pass.

• When tilling on a hillside:

- Work up the the slope, if possible.

- If lateral work cannot be avoided, work from the top to the bottom in order to limit any terracing effect.

Replacement parts

See Service Dealer for original parts.

PART NUMBERS MAY CHANGE, use part numbers listed at the end of this manual when you order. If a

number changes, your dealer will have the latest number.

WHEN YOU ORDER PARTS, your Frontier Equipment dealer needs your machine serial number. This is

the number you have recorded in the INTRODUCTION section in the front of this manual.
