In case of tractors equipped with EHR, operating with hydraulic lift is done by the buttons mounted outside the tractor’s cabin. When operating be extremely careful. Locking pawl line and “field edge” mechanism line (in the case of the P4-420 tedder) should be mounted with relevant tolerance in the tractor cabin When switching from working to transport position unmount the whole or at least one end (from tractor’s PTO) of PTO shaft.

WARNING! In the case of P4-420 tedder, it is FORBIDDEN to folding up tedding arms in position of tedding on the field edge. See point 5.8.1. Fig. 11. Locking pawls in transport position lift the tedder with tractor hydraulic lift until the lower lift pins of the tedder 3-point linkage frame raise about 50 cm above the ground (Fig.
When driving on public roads the machine overall width should not be greater than 3 m. Since the SaMASZ tedder operating height of drive wheels can be is adjustable, change of this setting may lead to alternation of the machine transport width when folded. Therefore, the tedder transport width should be controlled prior to driving onto public roads and if needed wheels 1 setting should be changed (Fig.
