SETTING SHUT-OFF VALVE
The shut-off valve is used for restricting the lift of the transport axle.
It is used for accelerating turning at headland and it reduces the requirement for the oil flow through the
tractor circuit.
The function is controlled by the left lever on the drawbar, see Chapter 1.2.
The lifting height of the machine at headland can be set by remounting the links of the other holes (Picture
18).
The recommended setting is when the central roller is about 5 cm above ground during the turn.
To lift the machine to the maximum height for transport, it is required to change the control lever on the
drawbar to the transport position.
Moving the adjustable links down increases the lifting height (using the holes in position 1 instead of position
3).
Attention! When the lifting height is too low, it applies excessive load on the central roller and its mounting
onto the frame during the turn.
