Disconnecting the
machine
Disconnecting safely
You may only disconnect the machine when
•
all parts are in a safe condition,
•
your immediate surroundings are safe,
•
the hopper is empty.
Work carefully by:
•
checking the surroundings (children!) and ensuring that nobody is
in the vicinity of the tractor or the machine,
•
wearing safety gloves and shoes,
•
placing the machine or parking support only on a straight, firm
surface,
•
never standing between the tractor and machine when the power
lift is operated externally while disconnecting the machine. Using
the power lift entails the risk of accidents by crushing or jack-knifing
•
Operate the power lift slowly and carefully,
•
place the power lift during disconnection be in such a position that
accidental release or lowering would be eliminated,
•
maintain sufficient distance between parts (e.g. parking support)
that rest on the ground.
Working unsafely could cause serious injuries.
Proceed as follows to store the machine in stable condition for a
shorter or longer period.
Switch off the PTO shaft.
Check that the Trimflow hydraulic hose tap is closed.
Release the pressure from the hydraulic system.
Place the machine on a stable, level base.
Switch off the electronic control system.
Engage the parking brake of the tractor.
Adjust the length of the top link in such a way that it is no longer
live.
Release the top link by undoing the release rope from the catch
hooks and pulling the top link up.
Release the lower links by undoing the release ropes from the
catch hooks and lowering the power lift as far as possible.
