By following the above instructions you will see that at NO point in the coupling or decoupling process
has the red line been left in the tractor on its own.
This is intentional and should be considered the ‘rule’ to coupling the hoses.
4.1.2.
When driving on the road
When driving on the road the machine must be converted to the transportation position. When driving
on the road, raise the machine completely to prevent the working elements dragging on the ground.
Road transport speed should not exceed 16mph (25kph).
4.2. Parking the machine
In order to avoid damage as a result of moisture, the machine should be parked, if possible, indoors or
under cover. When maneuvering the machine, pay attention to your surroundings. Ensure that nobody
is in the maneuvering area (watch for children!). Park with the machine on level solid ground, if leaving
parked for a long period of time it is advised the machine is left in the unfolded or work position.
4.2.1.
If the machine is to be left in the unfolded position
1. Follow the steps to unfold the machine but stop at the point where all working elements are touching
the ground.
2. At this point it will be possible to raise the drawbar and relieve the weight on the tractor hitch.
3. Turn off the tractor and remove the hitch pin.
4. Checking that the tilt cylinders are supporting the weight of the drawbar draw the tractor forward
enough so as to clear the hitch.
5. Lower the drawbar onto the ground. Fit the wheel chocks.
6. Turn off the tractor, depressurize all hydraulic lines and remove all hoses and cables from the rear
of the tractor, slowly draw the tractor forward.
4.2.2.
If the machine is to be left in the folded position
1. Turn off the tractor. Swing the hydraulic jack from the transport position into the work position.
2. Fit the wheel chocks under the wheels.
3. Open the inline hydraulic tap and operate the hydraulic jack to take the weight of the machine. Turn
off the tractor and remove the drawbar pin.
4. Draw the tractor forward to clear the hitch. Lower the jack down so the ram rod is completely hidden
e.g.; there is now no oil pressure in the hydraulic hose. At this point turn off the tractor and place all
spools into float. Remove all hoses and slowly draw the tractor forward.
4.3. Out-Rigger Wheels
The Out-Rigger units support the wing tips in work
ensuring a level soil finish. The out-Rigger units
also support and lock the wings during road
transport.
