Operating Instructions
4.17 Checks
The working quality depends on the
adjustments and checks made prior to and
during work, as well as on regular servicing
and maintenance of the machine.
Before beginning work it is therefore
important to carry out any necessary servicing
and to lubricate the machine as required.
4.16 Parking the machine
In order to avoid damage as a result of
moisture, the machine should be parked, if
possible, indoors or under cover.
When manoeuvring the machine,
pay attention to your surroundings.
Ensure that nobody is in the
manoeuvring area (watch for
children!).
„ Park with the machine on level solid
ground, if leaving parked for a long
period of time it is advised the machine
is left in the unfolded or work position.
„ Switch off the tractor. Swing the jack into
the work position and operate the
hydraulic jack to raise the drawbar from
the jaw of the tractor and remove the pin.
„ If the machine is being left folded on the
jack ensure the catcher arm tap
(YELLOW) is left closed. Depressurise
all hydraulic lines and remove pipes and
cables from tractor.
„ Slowly draw the tractor forward.
