4.12 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.
4.11 Work Instructions
Driving speed
The SL700 can be driven at speeds of up
to 12 km/h.
This depends on the field conditions (type
of soil, surface trash, etc.).
Drive more slowly if the conditions are diffi-
cult or a firmer finish is required.
Turning:
Before turning, the machine should
be eased out of work while driving.
Likewise, it should eased back
into work once the turn has been
completed.
it is recommended that the machine should
be turned to the left at headlands to reduce
the risk of any damage caused by turning
with the working elements still engaged.
4.13 Checks
The working quality depends on the adjust-
ments and checks made prior to and during
work, as well as on regular servicing and
maintenance of the machine.
Before beginning work it is therefore impor-
tant to carry out any necessary servicing
and to lubricate the machine as required.
Checks prior to, and during
work:
• Is the machine correctly hitched up and the
coupling device locked?
• Have the hydraulic lines been connected
according to the colour coding?
• Is the machine in a level operating position
and the working depth set correctly?
Working Elements
• Are the discs and other cultivation tools in
a serviceable condition?
• Are the scrapers still operable, so that the
rolls do not jam?
• 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.
