11.0 DISCONNECTING THE OVERSEEDER
The machine can be disconnected from the tractor as follows:
1. Turn the adjustable legs (see fig. 6 pos. 1) downwards and lock them using the
locking pins included.
2. Slowly lower the machine until it stands on the ground.
3. Lock the rear roller to prevent it from rolling away.
4. Loosen the top rod and remove it.
5. Remove the lower arms from the tractor of the Overseeder.
* Place the machine on a stable and level surface and make sure that the
machine is stable and cannot slide.
* Switch off the tractor engine when people are walking around the machine and
lock the tractor/machine combination to prevent it from moving!
@ Make sure that the cutting elements do not touch the ground when storing the
machine to avoid damage.
