2.9 Parking the machine
In order to avoid damage as a result of
moisture, the machine should be parked, if
possible, indoors or under cover.
When manoeuvring the machine,
pay attention to your surroundings.
Ensure that nobody is in the
manoeuvring area (watch for
children!).
• Park the machine on level and solid ground.
• Fit wheel chocks.
• With the machine raised move the parking
stands into position.
• Lower the machine onto the parking
stands ensuring that it is stable.
• Remove the drawbar pin and drive forward
slowly until hitch is clear of tractor drawbar.
• Lower the drawbar to the ground.
• Switch off the tractor.
• Disconnect hydraulic lines from the tractor.
If parking on uneven or sloping
ground unfold the machine and
lower first to avoid instability.
2.8 When driving on the
road
When driving on the road the machine must
be converted to the transportation position.
When driving on the road, raise
the machine completely to prevent
the working elements dragging on
the ground.

lower the CultiPress to the ground and
depressurise the lift hydraulics.
3. Raise / lower the axle as required
to align the respective machines‘
drawbars and couple together.
4. Couple the rear roll to the lift circuit of
the CultiPress, ensuring that the hoses
are connected to the corresponding
circuit on the trailing machine.

the wing (fold) circuit of the CultiPress.
6. Fully raise the CultiPress and the roll
clear of the ground.
