Machine in transport
position
Check the surrounding area before taking machine into use
Before driving and using the machine the surrounding area should be
checked.
This prevents persons and animals in the vicinity from being harmed.
If the surrounding area is not checked, it may result in serious injuries
to persons or animals.
Connecting the tractor's PTO outlet
The tractor's PTO outlet must be disconnected when the machine is
raised to the transport position.
The universal joints on the machine's PTO shafts are forced out to
beyond their maximum working angle.
This can cause extensive damage to the machine's main gear and the
PTO shafts.
The cutting unit is secured using a mechanical shut-off valve
The machine's cutting unit must be secured with a mechanical shut-
off valve in the transport position.
The mechanical shut-off valve prevents the cutting unit from dropping
accidentally.
If the cutting unit drops accidentally, it may result in serious or fatal
injury.
The machine is placed in the transport position in the following way:
> Connect the tractor hydraulics.
> Check that the mechanical safety valve for the machine's hydraulic
cylinder is open
> Activate the tractor hydraulics and raise the machine fully.
> Close the mechanical safety valve for the machine's hydraulic
cylinder.
> Disconnect the tractor's hydraulics.
