General operation
• Proceed cautiously under overhead powerlines and around power poles, as contact may result in
the operator suffering a severe electrical shock.
• Never allow anyone within the immediate area when operating machinery.
• Stand clear when raising or lowering wings.
Transporting
• Always travel at a safe speed. NEVER EXCEED 25kph.
• Ensure transporting transport safety lock valves are closed during transport to ensure machine is
transported safely (Fig.13 & 14).
• Ensure your speed is low enough for an emergency stop to be safe and secure and reduce speed
prior to turns.
• Ensure safety chain is attached correctly to the towing vehicle.
• Please refer to your own country, state, provincial, county or municipality laws on the rules of
transporting farm machinery on roads.
• Ensure that disc or prickle chains are engaged in chain guides and supports. Disc or prickle chain should
be clear of the ground.
• Be aware of the height, length and width of the machine. Beware of obstacles and overhead
powerlines.
• Use approved accessory and necessary warning devices on the road during both day and night time
transporting.
Hydraulics
• NEVER remove hydraulic hoses or ends unless the machine is in either transport position or fully
extended in working position. Relieve all hydraulic pressure before disconnecting hydraulic hoses
and fittings.
• Ensure all fittings and hoses are in good condition.
• Do not search for high pressure hydraulic leaks without hand and face protection. A leak can
penetrate the skin, thereby requiring immediate medical attention.
• Double check that all is clear before operating hydraulics.
• Maintain proper hydraulic fluid levels and pressure.
Maintenance and inspection
• Good maintenance is your responsibility.
• Regular maintenance and inspection is imperative.
