SHAKAERATOR - Operator Manual - McConnel

Hydraulic Lift Assister Ram (Optional Extra)On 3.7m and 4.5m frames only, additional lugs are welded to accommodate an assisterram when an extra heavy implement is to be mounted. The extra hydraulic hose requiredis junctioned into the initial supply with a 'T' piece.It should be noted that all linkage rocker shafts are provisioned for accepting the rod endof any extra ram leaving it for the customer to weld additional lugs to the frame if it isenvisaged that a very heavy implement is to be attached to any of the alternative frames.Hydraulic Lift Assister Ram KitPower Driven ImplementsGreat care should be taken when using a power driven implement behind the Shakaeratorto ensure that the implement’s drive shaft is not subjected to acute angles when in motion.The tractor's PTO shaft must be disengaged before lifting the unit on the linkage. Toaccommodate a variation in shaft operating heights for different implements the whole ofthe through-drive assembly can be raised or lowered by means of a range of adjustmentholes on the vertical mounting plates. Caution should also be exercised that theimplement's drive shaft does not 'bottom out' when raised to its maximum on the linkage.Also check the full range of operation of the linkage to ensure that the drive shaft does notfoul any part of either implement.20
