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.
