14 9.3 Transport position with operating terminal

Danger!

When raising/lowering the rotors, make sure that nobody is in the pivoting area. There is a risk of injury. – Direct all persons out of the danger area. – Switch off the machine at once, if necessary. – If necessary, interrupt the control unit with the “STOP” key(1) (Fig.13). Never work on the machine while the tractor's engine is running. – Switch off the engine. – Remove the ignition key.

Attention!

In transport position, the PTO shaft must not be switched on, otherwise the PTO drive and the universal drive shafts may be damaged. – Switch off PTO shaft.

• Switch off PTO shaft.

• If necessary, secure the tractor with wheel chocks to prevent it from rolling. • Release parking brake on the tractor and on the rotary swather. • Never actuate the foot brake and/or the parking brake while extending or retracting the running gear. (Fig.14)

• Switch hydraulic system to pressure.

Attention!

Blocked wheels on the swather can lead to damage of the swather's running gear, because the running gear cannot be swivelled. – Release parking brake on the tractor and on the rotary swather. – Do not operate foot brake.
