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.32). 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. – Do not engage the PTO shaft before the machine has reached at least the headland position!

• Preparatory procedures –see Before lowering into the working position, page57.

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.

• Never actuate the foot brake and/or the parking brake while extending or retracting the running gear. • If necessary, secure the tractor with wheel chocks to prevent it from rolling. • Release foot brake and parking brake. (Fig.33)
