General
The following worksteps are described in this section:
•
Fold the machine into its work position.
•
Adjust rotor pitch.
Folding the
machine into the
work position
After road transport, the machine is brought into the work position on
the field. Follow the handling instructions below:
Folding out the
machine
Open all ball valves.
Switch on the tractor.
Using the tractor's single-acting hydraulic control device, lower the
transport chassis until the wheels on the axles are in contact with
the ground.
Using the tractor's double-acting hydraulic control device, fold
down the side devices until the lift cylinders are fully extended.
Bring the tractor's single-acting hydraulic control device for the
transport chassis into neutral position.
Activate the floating position on the tractor's single-acting
hydraulic control device.
Deactivate the floating position on the tractor's double-acting
hydraulic control device.
Make sure the machine is standing level
Before folding the machine out, check that it is standing level. The
machine could tip over, particularly on hillside locations. This could
lead to damage to the machine and personal injury.
Keep the rear window closed
Always keep the rear window of the tractor cab closed when
folding. During the folding procedure, an open rear window can be
irreparably damaged.
