Unhitching
DANGER! Always switch off the tractor completely, place the transmission in park, and set the parking
brake before attempting to connect or disconnect the machine from the tractor
Unhitching the machine is a reverse operation of the hitching process stated in the previous section. Ensure that
the input shaft has been removed following the guidance given in Section 4.5.1.
IMPORTANT: Unhitching and planning to store the machine should be carried out on a level and firm ground to
prevent the machine from rolling away. If the machine is destined to be left folded ensure that the machine is
safely secured with wing locking pins and/or ratchet strap to ensure that the wings do not drop. If the machine is
destined to be left unfolded, ensure that the machine is lowered fully to the ground and is resting on the machine
skids.
4.4.2.10 Remove the provided wheel chocks from the machine and chock the centre axle wheels. Both chocks
must be placed under one of the centre axle wheels to stop the machine from rolling.
These can be found on the SR460/620 models attached on the rear of both of the light boards, see
Figure 3.2 On the SR820 model they can be found on the tops of the centre axle; see Figure 3.3.
