be eased out of work while driving.
Likewise, it should eased back
into work once the turn has been

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?
• Is the machine in a level operating posi-
tion and the working depth set correctly?
