Cirrus 3/4/6000 DB2034 08.04
Warning!
When the Cirrus has been uncoupled from the tractor and when it is parked with
filled compressed air reservoir, the compressed of the reservoir acts on the
brakes and the wheels will block.
The air pressure in the compressed air reservoir and thus the braking power
continuously decreases up to an entire failure of the brakes when the com-
pressed reservoir is not refilled. For this reason, the Cirrus must only be parked
with applied chocks.
When the compressed air reservoir is filled the brakes are immediately relieved
when the supply tube (red) is connected with the tractor. For this reason the
Cirrus should be connected to the tractor lower link arms and the parking brake
of the tractor should be applied before connecting the supply tube (red). In
addition the chocks may only be removed when the Cirrus has been connected
with the tractor lower link arms and the parking brake of the tractor has been
applied.
7.1.1 Coupling of the machine
Coupling the machine on to the tractor:
1. Ensure that the Cirrus has been secured by
4 chocks.
2. The pins (Kat. III, Fig. 137/1) of the lower link
pivoting pendulums, secured by circlips, should be
provided with catching balls depending on the tractor
type (see operator's manual for the tractor).
3. Open the tractor lower link safety device, i.e. it
should be ready for coupling.
4. Carefully back up with the tractor.
5. Couple tractor lower links and machine.
6. Ensure that the safety device of the tractor lower link
locking is closed and secured (see operator's man-
ual for the tractor).

7. Lift the tractor link arms until the jack (Fig. 138/1)
gets free from the ground.
8. Remove locking pins (Fig. 138/2).
9. Slide jack upwards and secure by using locking pins.
10. Secure locking pins using the circlip (Fig. 138/3).
