Parking/
disconnection of
the machine
Disconnection between the machine and the tractor
When disconnecting the machine from the tractor there is an
increased risk of personal injury.
Paying full attention when disconnecting ensures your safety and that
of others.
Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious injuries.
Park the machine in the working position
The machine should always be parked in the working position.
This prevents the machine from tipping over and causing serious
accidents.
If the machine tips over, serious or even fatal injuries may result.
Therefore, when disconnecting make sure that:
• The machine is in the work position.
»Working in the field« page 46
• The machine is placed upon a horizontal and level surface.
• the support leg is folded down.
• the parking catch is activated.
• The tractor cannot roll after being disconnected.
• the tractor has stopped, the parking brake is active and the ignition
key is removed.
• No unauthorised persons must be allowed near the machine.
When the machine is parked on the support leg, the cutting units must
not, under any circumstances, be raised from the ground.
