suitable for carrying the machine. Make sure that the rotations of P.T.O. are the same as the machine. After
these checks, proceed as follows: - brake and switch off the tractor, remove the ignition key and go down; -
adjust the arms of tie rods to prevent any oscillation to the right and to the left of the machine; - Assemble
the cardan shaft and ensure that the bolts are inserted into the slots after checking the length. - apply the
