6.12 Drawbar & PTO shaft stand usage
There are three types of drawbar stands available on the machine, depending on the
country of use, one will come as standard:
The drawbar stands are to be used every time the machine is disconnected from the
tractor. The PTO shaft stand must also be used to support the PTO shaft.
Type A
- The following applies to the swing down fixed length stand (low hitch):
Transport working position: While using the machine, ensure that the drawbar
stand (1) is raised fully with stand pin (3) in the alternate hole position.
Storage position: Ensure that the stand pin (3) is properly placed in the lower
slot to prevent the stand from collapse.
In most cases, both wheel chocks
should be used on one wheel, front
and back, as shown. The only
exception to this is when the machine
is parked on hilly ground. In that case,
a chock should be used on each
wheel, on the downhill side of the
slope.
Type A
This is a static swing-down stand (fixed) and is suitable for use on the
low drawbar hitch only!
Type B
This is a hand operated swing-down stand (adjustable screw) and is
suitable for raising or lowering the machine for tractors that have static
drawbar hitches. This stand type is available on the low drawbar hitch
only. This is raised and lowered by means of a crank handle.
Type C
This is a hand operated fixed stand (adjustable screw) that comes as
standard on the high drawbar hitch option. This is raised and lowered
by means of a crank handle.
CAUTION: All stands must be rested on a solid footing
All stands must be rested on a solid footing, on level ground and also
supplied wheel chocks must be used.
