4. Raise the drawbar and move the
parking stand to its transport position.
5. Carefully operate the hydraulics to
lower the drawbar and tilt the SL700
onto the road transport wheels. Extend
the drawbar cylinder and lift axle
cylinder enough to add in the requisite
amount of shims for road transport.
Ordinarily a 51mm silver shim in each
lift cylinder should be used to give a
transport height of 3930mm, however
the machine can be transported without
shims in the lift cylinders provided that
road conditions are suitable (this gives
a transport height of 3850mm).
6. Ensure that the wing lock is engaged
correctly before transporting the
machine.
7. If the machine is already folded it
is proceed to the next step. If the
machine is unfolded please refer to
2.5.2.
8. Remove the wheel chocks and stow
as shown on page 50.
2.4 Hitching Up
2.4.1 Hitching up a Tractor
to the SL700 / Preparing for
Transport
When hitching-up the machine,
ensure that no-one is between the
tractor and the machine.
When the SL700 is parked for
extended periods of time it should
ideally be left in the unfolded,
i.e. work position for stability,
safety and ease of access for
maintenance. However, parking
the SL700 in the folded position
(ensuring the transport lock is
engaged) is acceptable in the
normal course of operation.
Tractor Oil Flow Adjustment:
As a general rule the tractor oil
flow rate should be set in the
lowest setting before starting.
This can then be increased to
allow the desired rate of operation
as applicable. This will minimise
excessive oil flow and consequent
power usage and heat generation.
1. Ensure the tractor hydraulics are
depressurised and in the locked or
closed (not float) setting.
2. Couple the hydraulic hoses to the
tractor ensuring that the two wing
hoses (yellow) are together , the two
drawbar cylinder hoses (red) are
together, the tine frame hoses (green)
and the rear roll hoses (blue) are
together.
3. Connect the tractor to the drawbar
using the hydraulics to raise or lower
the height of the shackle. Do not use
the tractor pick-up hitch to attach the
machine to the tractor.
