ZMT Owner’s Manual
• To attach the machine to the tractor (Figure 8), bring the tractor lower lines (1) near the
shredder, to the points corresponding to the pins.
• Insert the pins (2) and secure them with the spring clips (3).
• Fit the top link (4) and adjust it at the limit of the slot side tractor (see Figure 8) in
order to follow any small depression on the ground. Raise the shredder to a
perpendicular position with the ground. Adjust the two tractor lower linkage
stabilizers (3) thus fixing the machine to the tractor in a central position.
• Lift the stand (5).
• Connect the pipes for ram control to the tractor and mark them to avoid reversing
them during assembly (see Figure 15).
• Proceed in reverse order to detach the shredder from the tractor.
4.4 Fitting The PTO Shaft
4.4.1 Following the instructions in 4.3,
assemble the PTO shaft (6) and check
that the overlap is not less than 2/3 of L.
Be sure to keep a 1.6” backlash (Figure
8). If it needs shortening, proceed as in
(Figure 9).
4.4.2 The guards of the PTO shaft must be
fixed to the shredder and to the tractor
with chains to prevent rotation. The
minimum overlap of the guard and the
PTO shaft must not be less than 2”
(Figure 10).
