OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
HYDRAULIC PARKING JACK (WHERE FITTED)
The hydraulic parking jack is available as an accessory for Kverneland 600 series machines. The jack raises
the drawbar to the required height for hitching to a tractor and can also be used as a parking stand when
uncoupling the machine (figure 9). However, DO NOT rely on the hydraulic jack alone. For any maintenance,
use a safety support as outlined above.
If the machine is fitted with a hydraulic jack, proceed as follows:
i)
Reverse the tractor to the machine.
ii)
Connect the ¼” hydraulic
pressure
(White ring) and
return
(Yellow ring) hoses to the tractor
supply
and
return
hydraulic services.
iii) Move the stop valve lever to the
open
position. Operate the hydraulic service to the jack (1) and raise
the drawbar to the required position.
iv) Turn the stop valve lever to the
closed
position to lock the hydraulic jack at this height.
v) With the machine correctly hitched to the tractor, turn stop valve lever to the
open
position and fully
retract the hydraulic jack. Turn stop valve lever back to the
closed
position
vi) When the machine is disconnected from the tractor, the hoses should be safely stowed by placing
their quick release connectors into the slots provided on the front panel.
