DR0-480 and DRP-480 tedders are equipped with joints that allow the operator to fold
the outside rotors up for transportation. Using the safety guard as a lever (see fig. 10),
raise the rotors until the hooks latch on securely to them. Folding the outside rotors
upwards will reduce the width of the unit from 16’ in its typical working condition to
approximately 11’.
Before detaching the implement from the tractor, park the tedder on a level surface,
position the support stand, lock it in place securely using the cotter pin. Disconnect the
driveline. Make sure that the tedder is well balanced and resting on the support stand
before attempting to detach the implement from the tractor.
If it is necessary to load the DR0-480 and DRP-480 tedders on a truck to transport for
long distances, tie one strap around each of the outside rotors and one towards the
front of the machine (see fig. 17). Ensure that the load bearing capacity of the straps is
sufficient to hold the weight specified in the technical features table for the machine
7
.
Slowly raise the unit to make sure the weight is balanced correctly.
