Transport
1 Raise the drill into the transport position and hold at
the full extent of the rams for a few seconds to allow
cylinders to rephase/equalise.
2
Important - To avoid machine damage due to drill
lowering during transport, always close the hydraulic
valve on the drawbar. Move the handle to a position at
90
0
to the hydraulic line as shown in Fig 1.
3 Locate jack stand in transport position. Refer Fig 2.
4 Ensure lighting and oversize warning requirements meet
recommendations published by the local Land Transport
Authority or equivalent.
5
Maximum towing speed 30 km/hr.
For countries other than New Zealand greater speed
restrictions may apply, please refer to your local
transport authority.
Ensure towing vehicle requirements are adequate
for the towed vehicle e.g. mass, brakes. Refer to
recommendations published by the local Land Transport
Authority or equivalent.
Braking when towing can cause the load to jackknife.
Use extra care when towing in adverse conditions such
as mud, inclines and sharp bends.
Lower towing speeds are recommmended on farm
roads/tracks and where one wheel is on or over a road
verge.
6
Attach safety chains to tractor. Refer Fig 3.
Safety chains must be crossed over underneath the
coupling and attached to the towing vehicle. The
attachment points must be as close as practical to the
towing coupling and one each side.The towbar on the
towing vehicle must be rated for the towed mass. Do not
remove or replace the safety chains provided with
any other than those specified in the parts manual.
Note: The safety chains are provided with sufficient
length to cater for all towing vehicles. Safety chains must
be shortened by cutting off excess length so that if the
coupling fails the drawbar will not hit the ground.
7 If the machine is fitted with row markers or other vertical
extensions check clearance under power lines en route.
8 Important - Before commencing towing on the road
check that the freewheeling hub positioned at the
gearbox end of the drill (Fig 4) is set to 4 x 2, not 4 x 4
which is only for sowing. Refer Fig 5. Failure to set the
freewheeling hub on 4 x 2 will result in unecessary wear
on seeder drive components and possibly damage.
