Operating Instructions
2.6 Folding and Unfolding
2.6.1 Unfolding into the Work
Position
1. Fully raise machine.
2. Set tines to fully extended cylinders (on
hydraulic tine models only).
3. Unfold machine - fully extend the wing
cylinders.
4. Set tine pressures on front two gauges.
2.6.2 Folding into the
Transport Position
1. Fully raise machine.
2. Retract the tines so they do not
protrude past the 3 metre transport
width when folded.
3. Fold machine fully.
4. Lower the machine.
5. Fit shims in drawbar cylinder.
6. Remove excess soil from machine.
Road transport speed should not
exceed 16mph (25kmh).
2. Transportation / Installation
2.5.2 When De-coupling
1. Bring the machine to the parking
position as instructed to in Section 2.8.
2. With the machine still connected to
the tractor remove the red brake line
followed by the yellow line.
3. Your brakes will now be ON and will
hold, ensuring they have been adjusted
and maintained correctly, the machine
in position. (note: if the machine‘s tank
is drained of air once all lines have
been detached the brakes will come off
(same situation as pushing the shunt
valve).
4. Continue de-coupling the machine until
it is fully disconnected.
By following the above instructions
you will see that at NO point
in the coupling or decoupling
process has the red line been
left in the tractor on its own.
This is intentional and should be
considered the ‘rule’ to coupling
the hoses.
