REMOVAL OF THE MACHINE
Removal of the machine from the tractor should always be performed on a firm level site.
Removal Procedure
• Replace the stand leg in the park position with foot down.
• Position the arms so that the motor is level with the bottom of the frame.
• Disconnect the supply and return hoses plus the motor drain line from the tractor.
• Raise the tractor linkage to take the weight off the yoke. Where a common top link and
yoke position is used the yoke must be unbolted in the middle. If different top link location
are used the yoke may be unbolted at the top.
• Lower the machine to the ground and disconnect the three point linkage. Remove top
halves of the yoke if still attached to tractor.
• Use chain to tie the hydraulic control valve back to the main arm - this will make it easier
for subsequent coupling up.
• Blank off hose ends or loop the hoses and join with a coupling if available to protect hose
lines from risk of contamination.
Storage
Ideally, storage of the machine should be in clean dry location where the machine is
protected from the elements. If the machine is to be left standing for an extended period of
time lightly coat the exposed portions of the ram rods with grease. Note: the grease should
be removed and the ram rods wiped clean before the rams are next moved as it will, over
a period of time, become contaminated with dust and grit.
Liberally grease the cutterbar and replace the finger and knife guard. Remember to take
care and keep fingers away from the knife. If the machine is to be stored outside lie a
piece of tarpaulin or canvas over the control valve - do not use a plastic bag as this will
promote rapid corrosion of components.
