Tab.5 – Work position of the machine
Machine unfolding procedure – work position
Initial condition: The machine is lifted on the axle (transport height of up to 4 m), the side frames are secured with a hook,
three shut-off valves on the drawbar and one on the piston-rod are closed
1
Use the lever to open the valves of
the axle and folding circuits. Open
the valve on the drawbar piston-rod.
Lift the machine to the maximum
height (yellow circuit).
Set the required number of washers
on the drawbar piston-rod (chapter
5.2). Tilt the end stops of the axle
piston-rods.
2
Release the locking hooks
downwards.
Unfold the machine, set pressure in
the circuit at 100 bar (red circuit).
The machine is prepared for work.
Change the control lever of the shut-
off valve to the work position.
3
Change the control lever of the shut-
off valve to the work position and
open the valve for the green circuit.
The machine is prepared for work.
SETTING THE DOWN PRESSURE OF SIDE FRAMES
When the machine has been unfolded, the down pressure of the side frames must
be adjusted to ensure optimal terrain tracing.
Set the value of 100 bar (1450 Psi) on the pressure gauge using the circuit for
unfolding.
100 bar
