Steering Rotary Disc Pull-Type - MacDon R1 Series Operator's Manual

3.13 Steering Rotary Disc Pull-Type

Steering is controlled by the tractor s remote hydraulic system.
IMPORTANT:
Valve (A) on the steering line must be in the open position
(handle in line with hose) for the steering system to operate.
The hitch provides the ability to do the following:
Move the rotary disc pull-type into field position.
Make right angle turns in either direction.
Steer around objects on both sides.
Perform straight-line field cutting on either side of
the tractor.
1. Activate steering control lever (A) to steer the rotary disc
pull-type into the desired path of travel.
Move lever FORWARD to position (B) to steer the rotary
disc pull-type to the right.
Move lever BACKWARD to position (C) to steer the
rotary disc pull-type to the left.
IMPORTANT:
Connect the hydraulic hoses so that moving the steering
control lever (A) backward steers the rotary disc pull-type
to the left and moving lever forward steers the rotary disc
pull-type to the right. Refer to
page 54 for more information.
NOTE:
Operate the steering control lever (A) only briefly, and
return it to the NEUTRAL or OFF position as soon as the
rotary disc pull-type reaches the desired path of travel.
