FOLDING AND UNFOLDING THE MACHINE
When executing any of the hydraulic movements, slow down the moving parts of the machine before position
stop by choking a relevant valve on the tractor control!
The hydraulics for the folding and unfolding must be connected to the double-action hydraulic circuit.
The operator must ensure that there are no people or animals within the reach of the side frames during
their unfolding or folding (i.e. in the place of their position stop) and that no one puts their fingers or
other body parts into the area of the joints.
Execute unfolding or folding on flat and solid surfaces or crosswise to a slope.
Unfold or fold the machine only when it is lifted on the axle.
Remove any soil stuck on the folding places as it may disturb the function and cause damage to the
mechanics.
During folding or unfolding, check the side frames and have them continuously fold into the end position
to the stoppers.
5.3.1
PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO TRANSPORT POSITION
LIFT THE MACHINE UP ON THE AXLE
o
Lift the machine on the axle by pressurizing the hydraulic circuit marked with two yellow rings. Continue
lifting until the piston-rod is drawn out to the end position. At the same time, lift the rear arms of the
tractor, if the machine is aggregated in this way. If the machine is aggregated to the fixed bottom hitch
of the tractor, the machine is lifted automatically with the axle.
o
Clean the machine from impurities.
FOLD THE SIDE FRAMES INTO THE TRANSPORT POSITION
o
Pressurizing the hydraulic circuit marked with one red ring continuously folds the side frames into the
transport position. The machine is factory-set so that the side frames rest on the stops of the central
frame when the piston-rod is drawn out to the maximum position.
o
In K1000PS, the process of folding is automated, i.e. the machine folds automatically when the circuit is
pressurized.
o
Block or close the circuit.
