free of the ground.
• Check that the machine's first guard can move past the tractor's
rear right-hand wheel.
> Pull in the cord and release the lock catch.
> Hold in the string and activate the tractor's hydraulics and the
machine will be raised up to the transport position.
> Release the string once the cutting unit is raised approximately
halfway up.
> Check that the lock is locked when the cutting unit is in the
transport position.
> Release the pressure in the hydraulic system.
> Locate the drain plug on the left side of the cutterbar and remove it.
> Let the oil flow into a suitable container.
> Allow the last of the oil to drip out of the cutterbar for approx. 10 -
15 minutes.
> Fit the drain plug into the cutterbar and tighten it fully.
> Activate the tractor's hydraulic system and allow the hydraulic
cylinder to release the machine's cutting lock.
