Moving from transport to working position
WARNING!
Ensure that the machine and the P.T.O. shaft have been correctly connected to the tractor. For
further information; see Section 4.2.
WARNING!
Ensure that the immediate surroundings will not cause a restriction to the moving and checking
of the machine.
WARNING!
Ensure there are no children, bystanders or animals in the immediate area when the machine is
moved.

With the machine raised off the ground 100mm, pull the Transport Latch release rope. At the same time,
carefully operate the tractor hydraulic spool valve so that the hydraulic ram will pull the swing arm through 90
degrees
’ see Figure 4.11.
Lower the machine so that the skids are on the ground; see Figure 4.12. Apply tractor hand brake, and turn
off tractor engine.
Remove the Top Link Pin from the single hole on the headstock, and reposition top link with the pin in the slot
directly below; see Figure 4.12. This will give better floatation when operating the machine.
To operate the machine with the hydraulic safety breakback feature, the hydraulic spool lever should be in
“float” position. This gives free flow of oil return to the tractor should an obstacle be encountered.
WARNING!
Failure to operate without free float return to the tractor may result in serious damage to your
machine.
The procedure for moving the machine from working position to transport position is the reverse of the above
procedure. The Transport Latch will automatically lock the swing arm in position when the ram is fully extended.
