Installazione e assemblaggio
Proper setup is crucial for the safe and effective operation of your chisel plow. Follow these steps carefully:
- Disimballaggio e ispezione: Rimuovere con attenzione tutti i componenti dall'imballaggio. Verificare la presenza di eventuali danni causati dal trasporto. Segnalare immediatamente eventuali danni al rivenditore.
- Collegamento al trattore: Ensure the tractor's drawbar is compatible with the plow's hitch. Securely attach the plow to the tractor's drawbar using the appropriate hitch pin and safety clip. Verify all connections are tight.
- Collegamenti idraulici: Connect the plow's hydraulic hoses to the tractor's hydraulic outlets. Ensure connections are clean and free of debris. Check for proper fluid levels in the tractor's hydraulic system.
- Regolazione della profondità: Adjust the plow's depth control mechanism according to the desired tilling depth. Refer to the specific instructions for your model's depth adjustment system.
- Installazione dei denti (se applicabile): If tines are not pre-installed, attach them securely to the plow frame using the specified hardware. Ensure proper spacing and orientation.
Istruzioni per l'uso
Before operating, ensure all safety checks are complete and you are familiar with the tractor and plow controls.
- Lista di controllo pre-operatoria:
- Check tire pressure on both tractor and plow.
- Verify all bolts and fasteners are tight.
- Ensure hydraulic hoses are free from leaks and properly connected.
- Confirm all safety shields and guards are in place.
- Engaging the Plow: Slowly lower the plow into the soil using the tractor's hydraulic controls. Begin tilling at a moderate speed, gradually increasing as conditions allow.
- Adjusting Depth and Speed: Monitor the tilling depth and adjust as needed. Optimal operating speed will vary based on soil type, moisture content, and desired results. Avoid excessive speed which can lead to poor tilling and increased wear.
- Tornitura: When turning at the end of a pass, raise the plow completely out of the ground to prevent damage to the tines and frame.
- Disengaging: When finished, raise the plow completely, disengage the tractor's PTO (if applicable), and park the equipment on a level surface.
