INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOWERING THE EQUIPMENT TO THE GROUND WITH ENGINE INOPERATIVE
The same recommendations seen in the preceding point for the use of cables apply. Always handle tractor and equipment separately.
WARNING For the tractor, a slinging as illustrated in the figure is recommended. For the front equipment it is recommended that the two end eyes of the blade and the tips of the blade are hooked, as illustrated in the figure.
Obey all procedures and WARNINGS relative to the instructions for STOPPING THE MACHINE and CUTTING-OFF THE ENGINE listed in this Manual. The equipment can be lowered with appropriate movements of the control levers, with engine running or inoperative.
Slowly move FORWARD the specific control lever (blade or ripper) causing the lowering of the equipment involved; grade the lowering speed, with particular care, towards the final tract of the descent, before touching the ground. When the blade is firmly bearing on the ground, move the lever alternatively FORE and BACK to stroke-end, a couple of times. With this manouver the equipment is bearing firmly on the ground and the residual pressures in the hydraulic system are released as well.
