Driving on the road
Transport position
of seed rows
Special aspects of driving over poor stretches of track
The seed rows must be brought into their working position for road
transport. This is especially necessary for particularly poor routes. Da-
mage to the machine can result.
Lower to working po-
sition
The seed rows must be in their working position, not the raised positi-
on, during road transport.

folded away by the spring.

Folding in the
track markers [+]
Check the connections for the hydraulics
Prior to the folding operation, check that the track markers are correct-
ly connected to single- or double-acting control valves. Incorrectly
connected hydraulic tubes can initiate unforeseen movements on the
machine.

Observe the switch position on the control panel
The track marker and folding mechanism switches must not be "ON"
at the same time. Damage can occur to the machine as a result.
No persons within the slewing range
The slew range of the machinery must be clear of all persons during
the folding process.
Slowly fold the track markers
The track markers must always be folded slowly. This is the way to
avoid damaging the track markers.
