Hitching a Trailing Implement (Optional)
Note: Maximum rear drawbar vertical loading-350kg.
Ensure the TCN ia unfolded.
1. Raise machine to attain a suitable height to attach
the trailing implement.
2. Reverse the TCN up to the implement, ensuring that
the drawbars are correctly aligned allowing a slight
clearance to enable the machines to be coupled
together.
3. Attach the hydraulic hoses between the TCN and the
implement.
4. Reverse the TCN and couple the two machines
together.
5. Fully raise both machines into the road transport
position. Fold the machine(s) if necessary.
Ensure that no fouling occurs between the TCN and the towed
machine.
Note: Any tines on the towed machine should be adjusted
so that they do not engage the soil (or should be re-
moved altogether).
Field Operation
This implement is designed to be pulled in the field with
the chisel engaged (including wide turns). Pulling for
extended distances with sections lifted, or routine lifting
for turns, is not recommended. Lifting for short distances
to clear residue clogs is acceptable. Lifting for tight turns
or reverse moves is required.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not pull for extended distances when partially raised.
Do not routinely raise for wide turns. Such practices cause
premature wear of cylinders, pins and frame components. Such
wear is not covered by the warranty.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Lift for tight turns and reverse moves. Tight turns can result in
a section moving backward. Never back up with chisels on the
ground. If the inside tire stops or rolls backward, the turn is
tight and requires lift
