3 TRANSPORT
The LOTUS tedder can be transported on the tractor's 3 point
hitch.
Use all such lighting and warning signals as are manda-
tory by law.
For transport on public roads: make sure that the front
axle weight is sufficient (fit front weights, if necessary)
and that the rear axle weight allowed as a maximum is not
exceeded.
- Secure the trail type headstock / STABILO self steering
device by means of the locking pin (fig. 6).
- Fold up the side rotors by means of the tractor hydraulics.
- Make sure that the cylinder has been secured by the locking
hook (fig. 7).
- Adjust the tines of the two innermost rotors inwards
(fig. 8).
- Adjust the wheel supports of the lateral rotors to the
position in which the wheels stick out least (fig. 8).
- Lift the machine from the ground.
The machine is now ready for transport.
Never allow the PTO shaft to rotate when the machine is in
the transport position.
