check manually that the rotors with knives rotate without jamming

When moving the unit, please observe the following rules:
1. When driving on a highway, always obey the traffic rules and prepare the unit in the manner
required by the regulations (i.e. appropriate lights, direction indicators, warning triangle, etc.),
according to par. 2.2 above.
2. All devices that set the machine into motion, such as chains, rollers, axles, etc., should be
connected in such a way that accidental movements while driving do not affect the
machine’s ability to operate or transport in the future.
3. Driving and gear shifting can negatively affect the mechanism of lowering and lifting the tractor
and the machine mounted on it. That’s why you should always leave enough room for
manoeuvres and control your gears.
4. The machine may not carry passengers or any materials.
5. If you are transporting the machine, for example, on a trailer or platform, it must be tied tightly
with chains, ropes or belts. Use only certified ropes, belts or chains. Always check their condition
before use.
6. Switch the machine to the transport position even for short distances. In the case of work with
a coupling (lift) mounted, without a seeder or with a seeder raised on it, the coupling (lift) must
be secured with bolts against self-lowering (see Fig.11-1.)
