2.5 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.
2.6 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.
2.7 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.
