2.5.3 Following Harrow

Operation

Into Work:

1.

Arrive in field and unfold machine
according to operating instructions

2.

Whilst at rear of machine closing axle
taps move Pins (qty 2) from front most
holes (by lug) to rear hole.

3.

Remove pin on outer quadrant plate and
re-position in the highest possible hole
for storage.

4.

Driving forward will flip the harrow out
into a work position

5.

When turning in work, tip the machine
rearwards into the roll. Reversing the
machine in this position allows the
harrow to flip temporarily into the
transport position. Driving forwards
again flips the harrow back into work.

Turning in work must only be on the
rear roll. Attempting to lower the
transport axle with the harrow in the

work position will seriously damage
the following harrow components.

Into Transport:

1.

Tilt the X-Press onto the rear roll and
reverse the machine slightly as if
performing a headland turn.

2.

Whilst at the rear of the machine opening
the transport axle taps, move the harrow
clamp pins (qty 2) from the front holes
to the rear holes by the lugs.

3.

Use the pin in the outer quadrant plate
to the lowest position permitted that it
will lock the harrow arm down.

4.

Continue folding the X-Press in
accordance with the operating
instructions.
