4 TRANSPORT
The POLYMAT and combination of POLYMAT/
LELYTERRA can be transported in the tractor’s hydraulic
lift.
- Lift the coulter beam and markers by means of the
hydraulic control.
- Close the ball valve (fig. 12) - TRANSPORT position.
- During public road transport, the transport width allowed
as a maximum by law should be observed.
The transport width of the POLYMAT 300W remains within
3,00 m providing that the markers and wheels (as well as the
LELYTERRA’s soil deflectors) are folded up.
Fold up the footboard of the filling platform. Pull out the
locking pin A (fig. 13). Fold up the wheel and secure the
wheel support by means of the lynch pin B.
- Use all lighting and warning signals as are mandatory by
law.
- Ensure sufficient front axle load for public road transport
(fit front weights, if necessary) and make sure that the rear
axle load allowed by law as a maximum is not exceeded.
The tractor is more manageable when the drill has an empty
hopper. It is therefore recommended to fill the hopper on the
plot to be drilled.
When the machine is placed back on the ground whilst the
coulters are not in the elevated position, the operator has to
drive forward slowly until the machine is on the ground.
Thus, damage to the coulters is avoided.
If the POLYMAT is transported by means of a truck or a
similar means of transport, the machine can be hoisted by
using the bracket in the hopper (fig. 14). Lifting and lowering
for transport purposes is only allowed with an empty hopper.
