Preparing for operation
27
Bring the implement
into the work
position
Note the contour of the terrain
Change only from transport to work position on level ground or with
the tractor facing directly uphill. Never attempt to change the machine
from transport to work position with the tractor facing across a slope
or facing downhill. Avoid inclines on which the combination (tractor
and implement) could slip or overturn. Side equipment can swivel out
uncontrollably. the implement could be damaged. There is an in-
creased risk of tipping and injury in a position offset in relation to the
direction of the slope.
There should be no persons standing in the slew range
No-one is permitted to remain within the slew range and working area.
Personnel can be caught by the implement. There is otherwise the risk
of serious or fatal injury.
Unfold fully and uniformly
Ensure that the side equipment is uniformly unfolded. If there is a mal-
function, fold the side equipment back in and repeat the process with
a higher engine speed. The hydraulic cylinders must be completely
extended in the work position. Damage may otherwise be caused to
the implement.
> Use the tractor's hydraulic control device to bring the implement
into the work position.
