To prevent damage to the machine: –Before driving away, make sure that the bottom links are completely free of the hitch pins.
• Drive the tractor away carefully.
Attention!
At sub-zero temperatures, any water that has entered the tine arm mounts can freeze, and thus cause damage to the machine. If there is a risk of freezing: –remove the upper tine arms, and –seal the ends of the mounting tubes. –Carry out the work described below.
After the machine has been washed or has been driven through the rain, the following work should be carried out before the machine is parked: • Lower the rotors into the working position. • Run the machine for a short time, to remove any water that might have entered. • Raise the rotors into the transport position. If the machine cannot be parked in a dry, weatherproof building: • Remove the upper tine arms –see Removing the tine arms, page54. • Seal the ends of the mounting tubes. Up to Serial No. 60501857 the protection cap(1) can be used for this. Order no.: 0956 476.3 (Fig.34)
