WORKING POSITION
Conversion of the machine to working position takes place in reverse order of the
conversion to transport position.
DANGER:
Before the machine is placed in working position, you must
check that there are no persons in the danger zone and that
there is no risk of collision with objects near the machine.
The machine is placed in working position as follows:
1. All hydraulic outlets are set from floating position to closed middle position and
the machine’s stop cocks are opened.
2. Raise the link arms so that the hitch pins are approx. 60 cm above the ground.
3. Fold up the cutting unit by briefly activating the hydraulic outlet so that there is
no load on the hook for the transport safety device.
4. Lower the cutting unit by pulling the cord for the transport safety device while
activating the hydraulic outlet.
5. If the hydraulic oil is cold and/or if the cutterbar ground pressure is very light, it
may happen that the lowering speed decreases strongly around the headland
position. Here it helps pulling the cord for the transport safety device again.
6. The machine is swivelled into working position.
7. Activate the hand brake.
8. Fold down the side guards.
9. Deactivate the transport safety device.

On plane ground the link arms are raised/lowered so that the pin on the boom is in
the middle of the oblong hole of the transport safety device.
