2.8 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 surroun-
dings. Ensure that nobody is in
the manoeuvring area.
• Fit wheel chocks.
• Lower the parking stand.
• Raise the machine and remove shims from
the lift axle and drawbar cylinders.
• Lower the machine to the ground, ensuring
that it is stable.
When parking with the machine
unfolded, ensure that no load is
carried by the Spring reset tines.
This can lead to breakage of the
points.
• 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 and disconnect hy-
draulic lines.
2.6 Trailing Implements
2.6.1 Hitching a Press Roll to
the SL700
Maximum rear drawbar vertical
loading - 650kg
Adding a trailing implement to
the SL will affect the stability and
handling of the machine both in
transport and work.
1. Raise Machine to remove shims from
the lift axle to allow rear drawbar to be
raised/lowered.
2. Reverse the SL700 up to the press
roll, ensuring that the drawbars are
correctly aligned allowing a slight
clearance to enable the machines to
be coupled together.
3. Lower the SL700 to the ground.
4. Attach the hydraulic hoses between
the SL700 and the press roll.
5. Open the taps on the press roll
drawbar.
6. Raise the press roll drawbar to
approximately 300mm above the
SL700 drawbar clevis.
7. Close the press roll drawbar taps.
8. Raise/lower the SL700 to the same
height as the press roll drawbar, then
reverse the SL700 to couple the two
machines together.
9. Open the taps on the press roll
drawbar.
10. Fully raise both machines into the road
transport position.
11. Close the taps on the press roll
drawbar.
2.7 When driving on the
road
When driving on the road the machine must
be converted to the transportation position.
When driving on the road, ensure
adequate clearance to prevent the
working elements dragging on the
ground.
Ensure that no fouling occurs
between the SL and the towed
machine.
Any tines on the towed machine
should be adjusted so that they do
not engage the soil (or should be
removed altogether). In instances
where a UniPress is towed behind
the SL the UniPress tine frame
should be removed completely.
