8.6 Lift latch
The lift latch must be bypassed when changing from the working position to the
transport position. While working, the lift latch automatically limits the height of the rotor
arms in the headland position. In order to raise the rotor arms fully, into the transport
position, the latch cord must be pulled to disengage the lift latch hook from the pin.
NOTE: If the machine is already locked in the headland position, it may be necessary
to lower the rotor arms slightly at first in order to pull the latch cords. Once past this
point, the latch cord can be released and the rotor arms can be elevated fully and then
retracted into the transport position.
8.7 Wheel chocks
Wheel chocks are provided to secure the machine wheels anytime the machine is to
be detached from the tractor, or if the machine is to be stored or parked up. They are
located on the centre rear frame near the main chassis wheels.
