2.4 When driving on the
road
When driving on the road the machine must
be converted to the transportation position.
There is a risk of injury on
specially sharpened edges and
when making adjustments on the
machine.
When driving on the road, raise
the machine completely to prevent
the working elements dragging on
the ground.
2.5 Hitching-up the
machine
When hitching-up the machine,
ensure that no-one is between the
tractor and the machine.
1. Couple up to tractor linkage, the
normal setting is with the lower link
arms in the lowest hitch setting, and
the top link in the highest setting for
maximum rear roller stability.
2. Couple the two main circuit lines to one
double acting service. This will control
the tines.
3. Couple the third pipe (having a one way
check valve adjacent to the manifold)
to a second service, ensuring this is
set to float or lower. This line requires
a free flow return to the tractor, as it
allows oil to return to the tractor in
the event of circuit failure through
overload. If a free flow return or float
is not available, route this line direct to
the tractor oil tank, to ensure oil can
return unimpeded.
2.6 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.
Lower the machine so that it is supported
on the tines.
• Unhitch the machine and disconnect the
hydraulic lines.
