Line marker (8) The machine is equipped with a line marker. In combination with the Verti-Drain 1513 as the previous course with holes will be followed, at 55 mm (2.1 ") distance between the new job be pricked. In this way, the user can use the machine in the most efficient way. When the line marker is not necessary.
The procedure is as follows (Figure 12) 1. Using the cylinder (1), lower or raise the lower lifting arms (2) of the Carrier up to the height of the lower connection points of the processing machine. 2. Reverse the vehicle carefully so that the lower lifting arms (2) of the Carrier can be attached to the processing machine.
Make sure that the Carrier is blocked well and cannot move on its own accord! Turn the Carrier off before starting to attach a machine! Make sure that the processing machine stands stable and cannot roll away and/or slide off! 4.
