Preparing for operation
Frame
Before you can prepare the machine, the foldable frame must be fol-
ded out.
Prerequisites for folding:
•
The machine is coupled to the tractor and the tractor is secured to
prevent it from rolling away
•
The hydraulic and electrical connections have been made
Ensure the correct connection of the hydraulics
Before folding, it is essential to check whether the hydraulics for the
hydraulic folding frame are correctly connected to single or double-ac-
ting control valves. Incorrectly connected hydraulic tubes can initiate
unforeseen movements on the machine.
Observe the folding process
Observe the frame during the folding. Break off the procedure imme-
diately if there is any unusual behaviour of the machine during the fol-
ding out part of the folding process.
Do not manipulate equipment
The track markers fold in slowly. Never manipulate the equipment for
faster folding in. Rapid folding out leads to destruction of machine
parts.
Do not open the junction box
To avoid electrical damages keep the distribution switch box always
closed. Dust or dampness lead to unforeseen reactions from the elec-
tronics.
