PARKING
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION SUCH AS MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENT ON
THE MACHINE, STOP THE TRACTOR ENGINE, REMOVE IGNITION KEY AND WAIT FOR THE
ROTOR TO STOP BEFORE LEAVING THE TRACTOR.
The GA 3501 SUPER has a stand which permits
parking the machine in a stable position (photo 35)
and facilitates attaching and detaching operations.
To lower stand (A) to the vertical parking position
(photo 35) proceed as follows :
- take handle (S) of stand and pull it out until it reaches
its stop,
- pivot stand towards the ground. When it reaches the
vertical position it will slide upwards and lock in
place thanks to a built-in return spring.
Be sure that the PTO shaft (T) is always securely
located inside its support when machine is parked
(photo 35).
