1 - Do not keep bystanders, child near of the working area during the operations or over the implement.
2 - Do not turn on the tractor engine in closed place without appropriate ventilation because the gas is bad for health.
3 - Before coupling or uncoupling the hydraulic hoses relief the pressure
4 - Inspect periodically the hydraulic hoses and replace when fi nd any wear or damage, the oil work in high pressure and any damages may result in
serious injuries or death.
5 - Do not any adjustment when tractor is turned on
6 - During the tractor moving by roads pay attention in brake controls and use the safety devices
7 - Before performing any services in the discs gangs wear gloves.
8 - While maneuvering the tractor to hitch the implement be sure that there is enough space and nobody is too close, maneuver always in slow gear
and be ready to brake in case of emergency.
9 - Do not use large clothes because they can get caught on the implement.
10 - Drive the tractor always at safe speeds, especially when working in irregular or inclined lands, keep the tractor always geared.
11 - When working over hilly land try to keep the necessary stability. In case of instability reduce the acceleration, turn the wheels to the inclined side of
the land and never lift the implement.

07
12 - When you start the tractor engine, be correctly placed at the operators seat and be aware of the correct and safe handling of both tractor and imple-
ment. Always place the gearshift crank at the neutral position, turn off the gear of the power command and place the hydraulic commands at the neutral
position.

PUMA H HITCH PROCEDURE
HITCHING THE SUBSOILER IN THE TRACTOR
To hitching the subsoiler in the tractor couple the implement drawbar (1) on
the tractor drawbar (02), couple the hydraulic hoses from the cylinders in
the quick-coupler.
Before coupling the implement in the tractor, be sure they are ready for this
procedure following the instructions below:
- Remove the drawbar
- When necessary use the tractor extra-weight
- The hitch procedure must be done in plane surface using daylight or good
artifi cial light
- Couple the three point left low arm using the pin (1) on the support “A”
- Couple the three point upper arm on the support “B” and lock with the pin
Then using the tractor height lever hitch the right low arm in the support “C”,
suing the lock as illustrated in drawing 13.
DRAWING 12
DRAWING 13
To coupling the hydraulic system clear the quick-coupler push the
female tip fi rmly into the coupler with another hand install the con-
nector and loosen the quick-coupler. If you have any diffi cult push
the male quick-coupler against a clean and hard surface for relief the
pressure in the tip.

The implement alignment procedure is done following steps below:
Align the upper three point bar in order to the length “D” is same in the both
sides of the tractor using as reference the tractor tyres. The lower tractor
three point arms must be aligned in the same position.

PUMA H LEVELING PROCEDURE
DRAWING 15
For leveling the implement follow the instructions below:
Choose a leveled surface, for leveling the implement in the transversal di-
rection (width) use the level from the lower right arm, inspect if the confi gu-
rations is in according to the drawing 15
The leveling longitudinal (length) is done by the three-point upper arm, it
must be done parallel in relation to the terrain.

DEPTH ADJUSTMENT FOR SUBSOILER PUMA
07 - ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATIONS DEPTH ADJUSTMENT FOR SUBSOILER PUMA H
The depth working of subsoiler PUMA H is done by the wheel (1) that keeps
all shanks in same position.
In order to adjusting it loosen the nut (2) move the wheel to the ideal posi-
tion retighten the nuts.
Adjust the scrapers (3) loosening the nuts (4) moving the scrapers until
the right position, the manufacturer recommends keep the scrapers from 10
com to 20 cm far of the wheel.
The working depth is done by the depth wheel that is controlled by the
hydraulic system (1).
Defi ne the shank depth working raise the wheels until the depth reached
then install the lock device (2) in the hydraulic cylinder rods.
After this adjustment the depth working will be in according to the depth
defi ned because the lock devices not allow that the wheels move for
another position.

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT IN AUTO-RETURN DEVICE
The subsoiler leaves the factory with the spring adjusted in 30cm (length),
it is indicated for working in normal soil conditions. The increase the spring
pressure adjust is done by the nut “A” to decrease loosen it. The pressure
range is from 27,5cm to 30cm based on the spring length.
ATTENTION
The subsoiler not requires any additional
adjustment in the shanks, if the shank is
working out of the confi gurations, ins-
pect the soil conditions it has been hard
or compressed.
ATTENTION
For the best performance of subsoiler work with less pressure as
possible, but pay attention for de auto-return device not working out
of desired confi gurations.

SPACING BETWEEN SHANKS PUMA H
The shank’s spacing must be adjusted when you remove any shank, eg.
the subsoiler used to working with 9 shank right now will working with 7
shanks in according to the soil conditions.
To adjusting the shank’s spacing loosen the nuts (1) and move the shank
(3) to the desired position and retighten the nuts.

COULTER BLADE ADJUSTMENT
REAR ROLLER SUBSOILER PUMA
Conditions as subsoiling depth, amount of straws and moisture requires
adjusts in the height and down-pressure in the coulter blade.
To adjusting the coulter blade’s height (1) loosen the bolts (2) move the
shaft (3) for desired position then retighten the bolts (2).
The coulter blade down-pressure is done by the adjustment of the nuts and
cotter-nuts.

ATTENTION
Pay attention the coulter blade must be aligned with the shanks. All
counter blade should have the same adjustment.
DRAWING 21
The rear roller is proper to maintain the soil in the right position after the
subsoiling procedures, in order to level the terrain allocate the straws and
other debris provide a good conditions for no-till.
The rear roller pressure must be adjusted in according to the soil condi-
tions, and provide a good completion of the job. In order to adjusting the
rear roller down-pressure
user the nuts (1).
To adjusting the right down-
-pressure follow the instruc-
tions below:
Adjust the depth working loo-
sen the down-pressure nuts
(1);
Set the subsoiler in work po-
sition tighten the nuts until
lock the spring.
Turn twice time each nut to
provide the right pressure for
the springs.
ATTENTION
The device must be adjusted to providing the same down-pressure
in the rear roller, the down-pressure should be adjusted until not to
raise the subsoiler, it will provide a not regular subsoiling procedure.
Do not tighten too the nuts it may result in damages for some parts.
