Parking and storage
Setting down the
machine in a
secure position
When setting down and parking the machine, special safety
precautions have to be observed:
General
The machine must be uncoupled in the reverse order to that in which
it was coupled.
Chapter »Bring the machine into the transport position« page 42.
Chapter»Coupling the machine«, section »Coupling« page 12.
Uncoupling and
securing the machine
To uncouple the machine from the tractor, proceed as follows:
Move the machine into its transport position.
Set the machine down on a firm, level surface and lower it to the
work position.
Secure the tractor against rolling away, turn off the engine and
remove the ignition key.
Secure the machine against rolling away by using chocks.
Pull off the PTO shaft and place it on the holder provided.
Disconnect the plugs for the lighting.
Lower the parking stand and secure with pins.
Wind the electric cables onto the hook.
Lower the lower link until the parking stand rests safely on the
ground.
Release the latch between lower link and attachment carrier.
Unhitch the machine.
Observe the safety information
Observe the safety information. Disregard for safety information
can lead to serious or fatal injury. See chapter »Safety«, page 6.
Keep children away from the machine
Prohibit children from playing on or around the machine. Select a
parking area to which no unauthorised persons have direct
access. Metal edges and machine work tools can cause serious
injury.
Make sure the machine is standing level
Before changing from the transport to the work position (and vice
versa), make sure the machine is standing level. The machine
could roll away, particularly on hillside locations. The machine
could be damaged and serious or fatal injuries could be caused.
