Uncoupling and
securing the machine
To uncouple the machine from the tractor, proceed as follows:
Move the machine into its transport position.
Set the machine down on a firm, level surface and lower it to the
work position.
Secure the tractor against rolling away, turn off the engine and
remove the ignition key.
Secure the machine against rolling away by using chocks.
Pull off the PTO shaft and place it on the holder provided.
Close the ball valve and release the hydraulic couplings.
Place hydraulic couplings in storage pockets.
Remove the tine supports level with the field of vision (2.0 m).
Disconnect the lighting connectors and place them in the storage
pockets.
Lower the sustainer and secure with pins.
Wind the electric cables onto the hook.
Lower the lower link until the sustainer rests safely on the ground.
Release the latch between lower link and attachment carrier.
Unhitch the machine.
Observe the safety information
Observe the safety information. Disregard for safety information
can lead to serious or fatal injury. See chapter »Safety«, page 6.
Keep children away from the machine
Forbid children from playing on or around the machine. Select a
parking area to which no unauthorised persons have direct ac-
cess. Metal edges and machine work tools can cause serious in-
jury.
Make sure the machine is standing level
Before changing from the transport to the work position (and vice
versa), make sure the machine is standing level. The machine
could tip over, particularly on hillside locations. The machine could
be damaged and serious or fatal injuries could be caused.
