Great Plains Uni-Press - Manual (Page 12)

8. Open the shut off taps on the Uni-press drawbar. Operate the hydraulics to lower the
drawbar tilting the Uni-press onto the road transport wheels. Fully extend the drawbar
cylinders.
9. Fully raise the levelling boards so that when the Uni-press is folded the free ends of the
levelling boards do not protrude beyond the 3m transport width.
10. Operate the hydraulics to fold the wings.
11. Operate the hydraulics to lift the disc harrow into the transport position.
12. Fit the disc harrow transport straps.
13. Fit the Uni-press wing transport strap to tie the two wing sections together.
14. Ensure that parking stands are locked up into the gangs.
When the Uni-press is used in tandem with a disc harrow the disc should be set to the
operators manual i.e. front disc gang to be 50mm closer to the ground than the corresponding
disc blade on the rear gang.
With both machines in the transport position i.e. raised and folded, the top frame of the
disc harrow should be slightly nose down or horizontal even when the downward load from
the Uni-press is applied to the drawbar of the disc harrow.
The frame may be levelled by altering the rearward tilt of the Uni-press to increase or
reduce the loading on the disc rear drawbar.
