TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS FOR RT MANUAL FOLD
Before transporting the machine, it is necessary raise lateral arms 1-2 (see page 24).
To do this, first check that spring pin 3, which is part of pin 4, is not touching tab C
(RH and LH side). Then raise lateral arms 1-2 by pulling on guards A-B until pin 4 of
the spring strut assembly enters hole D (RH and LH side) of the inside pipe of the
strut assembly. During transport, the lever for locking the 3rd point hitch 11 must be
positioned horizontally so as to avoid side-skidding of the machine.
TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS FOR RT HYDRAULIC FOLD
Before transporting, the side arms 1-2 (see page 24). must be raised. To do this move
the distributor lever 3, sending fluid through hoses 4-5 to cylinders 6-7, which will
close, lifting the side arms 1-2. Before proceeding with transport, make sure that
catch 9 is firmly hooked on pin 10 (RH and LH side) in order to guarantee safety
while the machine is being transported.
During transport, the lever for locking the
3rd point hitch 11 must be positioned
horizontally so as to avoid side-skidding
of the machine.
NOTE: The machine ready for transport
should appear as shown in the illustration.
The RT/5200 hydraulic fold also show this
configuration.
TRANSPORT BY ROAD
After the machine has been attached to the tractor as previously described and before
transporting it to or from fields or any other workplace, the following instructions
should be heeded:
Before setting off with the machine attached to the tractor, check the local road
transport regulations. During transport keep the machine fully raised with the power
takeoff disengaged and the lifting unit immobilised. Check that all guards, safety
protections and locking split pins are in place, functioning and correctly fitted. Ensure
that nobody leans against, or climbs on to, the machine during transport. The RT is
an agricultural machine NOT designed for persons or goods. Consult the tractor
maintenance and user manual where necessary. Maintain constant control over the
vehicle and ensure that you know how to stop the tractor quickly and switch off the
engine. When on a public road, observe all highway code regulations. Drive near the
edge of the road and try not to obstruct traffic. Do not park the tractor and/or the
machine where it might obstruct, or be a danger to, any public right of way. Avoid
going onto a public road if the tractor or machine is very dirty you could leave a trail
of soil, grass and other matter which could dirty the road and obstruct normal traffic.
