4.12 FOLDING FRAME
The two ends of the frame in models wider than 3 m are folding so as to narrow the actual frame itself to 2,5 m and thereby faci-
litate road circulation.
▪

▪
Remove the safety pin (
▪
Pull the end towards the ground, taking care not to put the hands under the cross-member, then insert the plug and insert
the safety pin.

4.13 INTER-ROW ADJUSTMENT
Always take all the possible precautions before working on the machine in any way. Turn off the tractor engine, disengage
the power take-off and apply the parking brake. Wear work gloves and use suitable tools in a good condition.
To adjust the working width, loosen the brackets (1 Fig. 22) that lock the tilling blades and move them along the frame. Remember
that the three-point hitch must be as central as possible in relation to the frame. Once the tilling blades have been adjusted, position
the bearing wheels by loosening the relative locking mechanisms (2 Fig. 22) and allowing them to slide along the frame.
4.14 STOPPING THE MACHINE
At the end of the job, the operator must:
▪
Disengage the tractor PTO.
▪
Lower the machine to the ground by means of the power lift.
▪
Stop the tractor and engage the parking brake.
▪
Make sure that all parts of the machine are at a standstill.
Only after the above mentioned operations have been carried out may the operator leave the tractor unattended.
4.14.1 PARKING
▪
At the end of the job, the machine must be parked on a flat, suitable surface.
▪
Stop the tractor and apply the parking brake.
▪
With the tractor stopped and all components at a complete standstill, remove the driveline from the PTO of the tractor.
▪
Unhitched the machine from the tractor.
The place in which the machine is parked must be:
▪
Dry.
▪
Sheltered from adverse weather conditions.
▪
Guarded or locked up to prevent children or unauthorized persons from freely accessing the machine.
If the machine is to remain idle for a long period of time, lubricate the parts subject to wear and store the machine in a dry, shel-
tered place, covered with a plastic sheet. This will ensure that the machine is in the ideal condition when required again.
