Machine requirements & preparation
6.1 Raising the rotor arms (transport position)
The following sequence must be followed to go from the working position into the
transport position. (Ensure the PTO is turned off)
1.
Unlatch the guard rails on both sides and fold into the transport position.
2.
Ensure the hydraulic tap is in the open position on the single-acting hydraulic
supply line!
3.
Raise the rotor arms just enough so that the rotor wheels are off the ground.
4.
Retract the rotor arm extension sliders to the narrowest work setting (6.2 for
the R62-72 model and 6.8 for the R68-78 model) or until they hit the stops.
5.
Pull the lift-latch cord while continuing to raise the rotor arms fully into a vertical
position. The rotor arms should only be raised/lowered in one smooth
continuous movement. Stop/starting in between can lead to machine instability
and risk of overturning.
6.
Retract the rotor arm extension sliders to the transport setting which locks each
rotor arm and lowers the overall height of the machine.
7.
Close the hydraulic tap on the single-acting hydraulic supply line!
8.
The machine is now in the transport position.
