Machine Removal - McConnel PA7070T Operator's Manual

Measure and fit PTO shaft; see PTO installation page.
Attach torque chains to stop guards from rotating.
Pre-operational Check
Before operating the machine; ensure that the shipping/storage lock tap on the control
valve and the two transport lock taps on the lift ram are in their open positions.
Never attempt to use the machine with the shipping/storage and/or transport lock taps in their
closed position.
Transport lock taps must always be closed before attempting to transport the machine. Keep
transport lock taps closed for parking and storage of the machines.

MACHINE REMOVAL

Removal of the machine is basically a reversal of the attachment procedure. Ensure the
stand legs are lowered to an identical height position and the lock pins are fitted and
secured with R-clips.
When parking a dismounted machine the arms should be placed at approximately half
reach directly ahead of the machine with the tele arm retracted and the flail head resting
on the ground.
Always ensure the unit is in a level and stable condition before attempting to detach the
tractor; for additional safety, the shipping/storage lock tap can be closed.
Disconnect control unit loom before carefully driving the tractor away from the machine.
Operation of external linkage lift controls – if applicable
Removal of the machine must be performed on a firm level site.
Ensure bystanders are kept at a safe distance at all times.
Install the operator control unit in the tractor's cab.
Route wiring looms with care avoiding moving parts.
If the tractor is equipped with external lift control
the operator and all other persons must remain
clear of the machine at all times when raising or
lowering the machine on the tractor's linkage.
Never stand between tractor and machine.
