Before attachment, ALWAYS ensure the following:
•
All safety guards & decals are in good working order and correctly fitted
•
Lubrication points have been lubricated as per scheduled maintenance period
•
The tyres are free of damage and inflated to the correct pressure

The tyres are free of damage and inflated to the correct pressure (0.35-0.55 Bar [5-8psi])
Attaching the Machine
NOTE: This machine is designed to attach to the towing vehicle through a 50mm diameter ball hitch.
Reverse the towing vehicle up to the machine.
1.
Reverse the towing vehicle up to the machine
2.
Attach the machine onto the towing vehicle's coupling using either the auto-lock coupling or suitable pin
hitch. Ensure the hitch is securely attached to the towing vehicle
3.
If applicable, attach the remote throttle in a secure location within easy reach by the operator.
ENSURE CONTROL EQUIPMENT (IF APPLICABLE) IS SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE TOWING
Initial Set-up
Height
1.
Hitch the PC Series up to the towing vehicle, and drive into the field or yard to be swept.
2.
Start the machine and increase the revs to full speed once warm. Lower the main height adjustment using the height adjuster handle
located near the engine until the sweeper brush is very lightly sweeping the surface. Running the brush too close to the ground will lead
to excessive scarifying of the field and excessive wear on the brushes.
3.
Adjust the angle of the main deck using the top link adjuster on the top of the drawbar so that the machine sits level. Once this has
been adjusted to a desirable level the drawbar adjuster does not need to be altered unless a different towing vehicle is used, or the
brushes are becoming worn. In normal use it is only the main height adjuster that is used.
4.
Adjust the height of the spring tines to the desired level of agitation and as the tines wear through normal use.
Daily Checks
Before use each day, and with the engine switched off and keys removed, the following checks should be undertaken;
•
Brushes - With the engine switched off and keys removed, the condition of the brushes should be checked. Any damaged or missing
brushes should be replaced immediately.
•
Engine - Fluid levels should be checked daily before use and topped-up as necessary. Ensure the air intake and air filter are clear of
debris or excessive dust build-up. Ensure engine is in good order and maintained as per engine manufacturer schedule.
•
Bearings - Ensure bearings are in good order and greased as per the maintenance schedule.
•
Belts - Ensure belts are in good order, free of debris, dirt and grease and do not have signs of damage e.g. cracking, frayed edges,
uneven wear.
•
Fuel - Ensure fuel is clean and free of dirt / debris. If necessary, check condition of fuel filter.
•
Hitch - Check condition of swivel hitch, and ensure this is attached securely to towing vehicle.
•
Tyres - Ensure tyres are free from damage and inflated to the correct working pressure for the conditions at hand
