Tab.5 – Work position of the machine
Machine unfolding procedure – work position
Initial position: The machine is lifted on the axle, the side frames are secured with the drawbar and belt, both ball
valves outside are closed.
1
Remove the drawbar securing,
place them on the pole. Open both
ball valves located on the drawbar.
Unfold the machine using the red
circuit.
2
Draw out the piston-rods of the side
rollers using the yellow circuit into
the marginal position, i.e.
maximum release.
Draw in the piston-rods of the axle
using the green circuit into the
marginal position, i.e. maximum
insertion. The machine will rest on
all rollers equally.
Place the relevant number of spacer
rings on the roller piston-rods and
set the tracing wheel (according to
the required recess of the machine).
If the machine is equipped with a
drawbar for fixed suspension, set
the distance washers also on the
drawbar piston rods. Draw in the
piston-rods of all rollers (drawbar)
using the yellow circuit. The
machine is ready for work.
SETTING THE DOWN PRESSURE OF SIDE FRAMES
When the machine has been unfolded, the down pressure of the side frames must
be adjusted to ensure optimal terrain tracing.
Set the value of 100 bar (1450 Psi) on the pressure gauge using the circuit for
unfolding.
Remove the drawbar securing and the belt prior to unfolding the machine into the work position and place
them to the pole.
Use the drawbar and the belt to secure the side frames from spontaneous unfolding after you fold the
machine into the transport position.
