DETACHING THE MACHINE
Machine must be parked with the weight of the
tongue resting on the parking stand.
When parking the machine :
- Fully raise the tractor lower links.
- Pull out lock handle (1) which secures parking
stand in the horizontal position (the parking stand
lowers on its own).
- Move the lower end of the parking stand back and
forth so that it automatically locks into the vertical
parking position.
- Lower the tractor lower links until yokes (2) are
relieved of the drawbar’s weight.
- Block the wheels with wedges if the area is not even
and level.
- Uncouple the tractor draught arms, the check
chains and the PTO shaft.
Safety chain (3) supports the primary PTO shaft
when the machine is disconnected from the tractor.
In this position the PTO shaft is not in contact with the
ground, thus avoiding deterioration due to dust and
dirt. Holder (4) provides effective protection to the
hydraulic quick couplers.
Place electric terminal (5) in its support and house
the remote control handle (6) with its terminal in the
storage box provided and close the lid.
Park the machine on level ground
when it is in the transport position.
