FOLDING THE MACHINE K1250+K1570 – PHASE 2 – CATCHES AND WHEELS
Start controlling the catches and auxiliary wheels, when the left and right side of the folding working sections
reaches the catches. Then start folding by Circuit B = pressurise the circuit branch designated with one white
ring. Firstly, the folded frames of the working sections will be raised with the help of the catches. Then, the
auxiliary wheels will be released and automatically tipped into the transport position. Warning: to make the
wheels and catches close fully, the piston rods must reach their final positions!! The flow of oil in the piston
rods is purposely choked by jets and thus it is not necessary to set a large flow of oil in the tractor.
Fig.16 – The working section has reached the catches located on the chassis
When the machine folds into the transport position, secure the side frames by the connecting rod and place
safety shields into the positions for transportation on ground communications.

Fig.18 – Placing the rear safety shields
When FOLDING THE MACHINE PHASE 2 has been completed, i.e. the working section is folded in the transport
position, you must set Circuit A into floating position. This will prevent the transfer of the undesirable load of
the side frames onto the pistons of Circuit A and potential damage incurred during transportation.

ADJUSTING THE WORKING PARTS OF THE MACHINE
The position of the following individual working parts on the machine can be adjusted
o
Position and depth of the track cultivators
o
Height and down pressure of the front leveller
o
Depth of the shares
o
Position of the leveller behind the shares (only for sweeps)
o
Angle of the rear finishing levelling bar
The control of the front leveller position and the share depth setting can be either mechanical, or
automatic from the driver’s position.
The drawbars of folding can also be adjusted.
