6.0 - Operations
Whenever working on or using the implement pay attention to the warning instructions
6.1 - Machine Coupling & Parking
DANGER: Personnel must keep clear of the area between hitch and the implement
whenever the tractor is moving. Failure to do so means personnel can become
trapped between the 2 and severely injured
DANGER: Accidents can occur with tractor and implement movements. Personnel
should be kept clear of the machines manoeuvres and operators should observe their
surroundings
WARNING: Escaping hydraulic oil can cause serious and potentially deadly injuries.
Hydraulic hoses should only be connected or disconnected when depressurised.
Connections should be correctly positioned to reduce risk
6.1.1 - Hitching
The machine must be properly connected to a tractor prior to any machine movements
1. Check the machine and tractor couplings for cleanliness and wear
2. Manoeuvre the tractor to the machine and set the parking brake
3. Stabilisers on the lifting arms should be adjusted to avoid excessive lateral movements.
IMPORTANT: A small amount of lateral movement is permitted, especially when
using auto-steer systems. If the stabilisers are tight, then any steering adjustment will
negatively affect the position of the implement.
4. Adjust the stabiliser arms so the linkarms are equal distance from the center line of the tractor
5. Adjust the tractor link arms so they are parallel to the ground. Check using a spirit level or
measure the distance to the ground when parked on a firm level surface.
6. Attach the top link, ensuring the threaded eyes are of equal distance.
7. Connect all hydraulic and electrical connections between the implement and machine (As
shown in sections 5.2 and 5.3 respectively)
8. Raise the lift arms until the frame is in the horizontal position, and the parking stands are no
longer supporting the machine.
