Preparing for operation
Track marker [+]
To set the track markers, the machine and track markers must be ex-
tended and lowered into working position.
Prerequisites for folding:
•
The machine is coupled to the tractor and the tractor is secured to
prevent it from rolling away
•
The frame is folded out
•
If the track markers are operated hydraulically: Hydraulic system
must be connected and operational.
The track marker can be adjusted after this.
Check the connections
Prior to the folding operation, check that the track markers are correct-
ly connected to single- or double-acting control valves. Incorrectly
connected hydraulic tubes can initiate unforeseen movements on the
machine.

Observe the switch position on the control panel
The track marker and folding mechanism switches must not be "ON"
at the same time. Damage can occur to the machine as a result.
No persons within the slewing range
The slew range of the machinery must be clear of all persons during
the folding process. Severe or fatal injury can result.
Slowly fold the track markers
The track markers must always be folded slowly. This is the way to
avoid damaging the track markers.
