Tractor coupling for Towed machines: standard version, with elevator coupling.

Tractor coupling for homologated Towed machines in work position (not suitable for road use).

4.3.1TOWED SPRAYERS PARKING

Don’t stand the sprayers on unstable ground or steep slopes, the machine is designed to be parked safely on compact ground with a slope of up to 8.5° using the relevant chocks (FIG. 3) in the following way:

- Machine parked with drawbar uphill (max 8.5°), place the chocks behind the wheels.

- Machine parked with drawbar downhill (max 8.5°), place the chocks in front of the wheels.

- Machine parked across the slope (max 8.5°), place one chock in front of the drawbar wheel (in the direction of the slope) and the other in front of the wheel uphill.

MOVING THE MACHINE

For lifting, please refer to the general notes above.

CAMPO sprayer models 11 and 16 are fitted with a tilting parking wheel which allows the machine to be pushed over firm, flat ground when the tank is empty. CAMPO sprayer models 22 and 32 are fitted with a tilting parking foot.

To make it easier to move the sprayer when it is not attached to the tractor, the machine and the drawbar are specially equipped for stowing:

-The cardan shaft: swivelling cradle on drawbar.

-The electrical pressure regulator: hosereel support (the pushbutton panel is normally attached to the tractor or stored in the product basket).

4.4TRACTOR COUPLING

=The tractor must be equipped with a 1”3/8 ASAE DIN 9611/A at 550 rpm power-takeoff capable of supplying the power necessary for operating the machine.

=It must have a towing hitch (towed mistblowers with a towing eye or fork drawbar) and a three-point elevator (for mounted machines and a steering drawbar for towed machines) suitable for safely bearing the weight of the mistblower.

=It must be able to tow the maximum overall mass of the machine.

All of the characteristics required are indicated in the fittings tables N° 12 pages 33-34 (the total mass is also indicated on the CE plate on the machine).

WARNING: make sure there are no persons or things near the mistblower before starting the machine and while you are using it.

4.4.1 STANDARD VERSION (ELEVATOR COUPLING)

=Check the diameter of the elevator coupling pins. If necessary position the double diameter pins correctly; there are also appropriate adapter bushes available.

=Check that the weight on the hook can be supported by the tractor (the maximum weights on the drawbar are indicated in the fittings tables N° 12 pages 33-34).

=Check that the steering joint is lubricated with grease.

=Keep the towed machine level with the control of the elevator.

=Retract the parking drawbar wheel (or foot) so it doesn’t get damaged during work.

B: to perform these operations, check the stability of the machine and observe all the indications relevant to safety in the paragraphs 4.3 TRANSPORTATION AND MAINTENANCE, 8 MAINTENANCE, and 8.5 REPAIRS.

=Position the pressure regulator in a place where it is easy to reach from the driver’s seat. Don’t carry liquids under pressure inside the cabin; use the relevant electrical or cable controls for these tractors.

=Check that the pipes of the pressure regulator (or the electrical cables on a pushbutton control panel) don’t get in the way and are positioned at a safe distance from the cardan shaft and the wheels of the tractor.
