Transport - Unhitching
Transport
As shown the machine can be raised to the vertical position. Raise the machine clear of the
ground with the lift arms (A) of the tractor, then raise the machine to the vertical position with the
hydraulic cylinder of the machine.
Be careful, check that the curtain frame of the machine can clear the rear wheel of the tractor at
(B): If necessary the curtain frame can be turned forward by disengaging the pawl (C).
Be careful. Make sure that no persons are near the machine when it is being raised
or lowered during transport. Lock the machine with “L” pin (D) and retaining valve (E).
The “L” pin is placed in the hole on the left hand side, when the machine is lowered to
working position.
Great care must be taken during transport on public roads. Reduce speed when turn-
ing and driving on uneven roads. Observe local laws for road transport.
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to provide correct lights and reflectors on
the machine, when it is transported on public roads after dark.

WARNING
The machine must never be unhitched from the tractor in the transport position.
The machine will be unstable and could overturn. Always store the machine in
the working position with the cutter bar on the ground.
Raise the machine with the lift arms of the tractor, remove the chain (F) and lower both of the sup-
port legs. Engage the lock pawl (G), lower the machine to the ground and unhitch the tractor.
