8.3 Folding and unfolding of the machine
•
The hydraulics for the folding and unfolding must be connected to the double-action control
unit.
•
The operator must ensure that during folding and unfolding of the side frames, no person or
animal is within their reach (i.e. at the place of their impact) or vicinity.
•
Perform folding and unfolding on flat and solid surfaces or laterally to the slope with the fully
open control unit.
•
Only fold or unfold the machine when lifted above the ground in the tractor suspension.
•
Remove stuck soil from folding points, soil may impair function and cause damage to the
mechanics.
•
During folding or unfolding, check the side frames and have them continuously fold into the
end position to the stoppers.
Attention!!! The machine must be lifted above the ground in the tractor suspension for folding
and unfolding; otherwise there is a risk of damage to the wheels on the side rollers.
Procedure for folding the machine into the transport position
1.
Lift the machine in the tractor suspension above the ground.
2.
Fold the side frames using the tube marked with one red strip.
3.
Check that the tilt piston rod is secured by the tie rod against tilting.
