NOTE TO CUSTOMER / OWNER
Please ensure that the above section above has been completed and signed by the selling
dealer to verify that your machine has been registered with McConnel Limited.
IMPORTANT: During the initial ‘bedding in’ period of a new machine it is the customer’s responsibility
to regularly inspect all nuts, bolts and hose connections for tightness and re-tighten if required. New
hydraulic connections occasionally weep small amounts of oil as the seals and joints settle in – where
this occurs it can be cured by re-tightening the connection – refer to torque settings chart below.The
tasks stated above should be performed on an hourly basis during the first day of work and at least
daily thereafter as part of the machines general maintenance procedure.

TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
Tractor Power Requirements
It is impossible to give any hard and fast figures on horsepower requirements as
ground conditions can vary enormously. Figures quoted in the specification section are
advisory only and will vary depending on local conditions and specific circumstances.
Free Flow Return
Tractors must be fitted with a Free Flow Return (minimum 3/4”).
Vehicle Ballast
It is imperative when attaching ‘third-party’ equipment to a vehicle that the maximum
possible stability of the machine and vehicle combination is retained; this can be
accomplished by the use of ballast to counter-balance the weight of the implement.
Front weights may be required in order to place 15% of total outfit weight on the front axle
for stability in transport and when turning the machine on the headland.
Tractor Linkage
It is essential that only the correct linkage arms for each particular tractor are used with the
machine. The arms have been properly matched with the horsepower of the tractor and
should be more than ‘just’ adequate. There are no features on the machine to offer
protection against the failure of unmatched, repaired, badly worn, weak or below category
tractor linkage.
Stabilisers
Check Chains and/or Stabilisers must be fitted and tightened at all times.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

9
MACHINE ATTACHMENT
Attachment of the machine should be performed on a safe firm level site.
Ensure all bystanders are at a safe distance from the machine and tractor.
Ballasting for Stability
It is imperative when attaching ‘third-party’ equipment to a vehicle that maximum possible
stability of the machine and vehicle combination is achieved; this can be accomplished by
the use of ‘ballast’ in order to counter-balance the weight of machine.
Depending on the size and weight of the carrying vehicle front weights may need to be
added to ensure maximum stability when transporting and/or working the machine -
contact the tractor manufacturer or local tractor dealer for advice on ballasting.
The procedure for attaching the machine is as follows;
Measure and set the tractors lower links to
identical height settings; this will ensure the
machine is mounted level (side to side) in relation
to the tractor when it is attached.
Remove linkage pins from the machines lower linkage points on
both sides of the main frame.
Slowly reverse the tractor squarely up to the machine with draft links positioned between
the lower attachment points on the main frame.
Raise or lower the draft links to a height where they are aligned with either the upper or
lower holes in the main frame attachment points; the attachment hole selected will depend
on the desired carrying height required.
Fit linkage pins and secure with linch pins.
Fit and adjust top link to place the machine in a suitable position for transportation.
Fit operator controls in the cab in a suitable location that allows for ease of operation.
Connect machine electrics to suitable connections on the tractor; refer to tractor handbook.
Remove stand legs and place them horizontally in their storage location on the machine;
refer to stand legs page for details.
With the tractor and attached machine still located on a firm level site it should now be
transversely levelled for work – refer to levelling section for details of this procedure.
Longitudinal levelling for work must be performed when the machine is at the work site in
order to suit specific task and conditions – refer to levelling section.

10
SHIPPING / STORAGE LEG SUPPORTS (Auto-Reset Models only)
Auto-reset machines are fitted with shipping/storage supports to the four front legs; these
must be removed prior to using the machine. It is recommended that the supports are
refitted for machine storage to ensure the unit is stored in a safe stable condition.
The machine must be raised and suitably supported before attempting to remove the
supports; when the supports have been removed the auto-reset system should be
pressurised as per the procedure stated below.
WARNING!
Ensure the machine is raised and suitably supported before attempting to remove
the shipping/storage leg supports.
AUTO-RESET LEG CHARGING PROCEDURE
The procedure should be performed with the auto-reset legs clear of the ground.
1. Connect the auto-reset ‘pressure’ & ‘return’ hoses to the tractor spool valve; the larger
diameter hose (3/8”) is marked ‘pressure’ and the smaller diameter hose (1/4”) is the
return.
2. Ensure tap adjacent to pressure gauge is open (refer to illustrations below for open and
closed positions). Energise tractor spool to charge the circuit with oil until the pressure
gauge shows a reading of 150 bar (+/-10 bar).
3. Close the tap when the circuit is correctly charged ensuring the gauge continues to
show a reading of 150 bar.
4. The auto-reset hoses can now be disconnected from the tractor until such time that the
circuit needs recharging. Hoses must be reconnected before any future operation of
the tap, never attempt to operate the tap with the auto-reset hoses disconnected.
CAUTION! When the auto-reset circuit is in a pressurised condition hoses must be
connected to the tractor spool valve before attempting to operate the hydraulic tap;
failure to observe this will result in a pressure build up within the hoses.
Tap open position Tap closed position

11
STAND LEGS
The machine is equipped with 2 stand legs; these are primarily for supporting the machine
when it is either ‘parked up’ or in storage.
In addition to the instances mentioned above, the machine should also be placed onto its
stand legs before attempting to make adjustments to any components or when performing
maintenance tasks.
Before resting the machine down on the stand legs they must be fitted in the correct
location on each side of the machine and secured in place with the pins and linch pins
provided - refer to illustrations below.
A firm level site capable of supporting the weight of the machine must always be selected.
For ‘parking up’ and/or storage the site should be level hard standing ground. Protect front
tines by parking them on wood blocks or planks.
Stand Leg Locations & Positions
CAUTION! Machine must always be placed to rest on its stand legs during adjustments,
maintenance, extended parking periods and at all times when it is not attached to a tractor.
Stand legs must always be secured with pins and linch pins. Park tines on wooden blocks.
Stand legs in machine support location/position. Stand legs in stowed location/position.
