MACHINE FOLDING AND UNFOLDING
The hydraulics for the folding and unfolding must be connected to the double-action control unit.
The operator must ensure that during folding and unfolding of the side frames, no person or animal is within their
reach (i.e. at the place of their impact) or vicinity.
Perform folding and unfolding on flat and solid surfaces or laterally to the slope with
the fully open control unit.
Execute the folding or unfolding only with a machine that is raised on the axle.
Check free turning and sufficient lubrication of the folding mechanism of edge frames
before folding.
During folding or unfolding, check the side frames and have them continuously fold into the end position to the
stoppers.
Remove stuck soil from folding points, soil may impair function and cause damage to the mechanics. Soil may also
apply excessive load on the machine frames during folding and transport.
CAUTION!!! The machine must be lifted on the axle, when the machine is folded and unfolded.
Attention!!! The discs have to be in the drawn-in position, otherwise, there is a risk of collision during folding.
