ATTACHMENT, DETACHMENT & STORAGE
WARNING!
Attachment, removal and storage of the machine must always be on a firm level
site
– failure to observe this precaution can result in serious injury or damage.
Attaching the Machine
With the tractor and machine on firm level ground, back the tractor up to the machine with
the tractors pick up hitch centrally in line with the tow ring on the rollers tow bar.
Lower the tractors pick up hitch to a height lower than the tow ring and reverse into a
position where the hitch is directly below it.
Slowly raise the pickup hitch ensuring that it is engaged in the rollers tow ring, continue to
raise the hitch until it is securely locked.
Connect the hydraulic hoses of the roller to tractors service.
Remove any wheel chocks that have been used to secure the machine.
Place the machine into the required position for either work or transport; if transporting the
machine, ensure it is folded fully in and the transport pin fitted and secured.
NOTE: For transportation on the public highway ensure that a legally approved lighting board is
fitted and connected.
Detaching the Machine
Detachment of the machine is a reversal of the procedure above. Ensure the site chosen for
machine detachment is a firm, level location for both safe parking and subsequent ease of re-
attachment. Keep bystanders at a safe distance and always chock the wheels to prevent any
risk of machine movement whilst parked or stored.
Machine Storage
The machine should ideally be stored in a clean, dry environment where it is protected from the
elements. Clean and lubricate the machine prior to storage, and inspect for damaged and/or
missing components so they can be pre-ordered and fitted ready for the next seasons work.
Ensure the machine is parked safely at all times with no risk of moving or falling. Always drain
water ballast from the rollers prior to long term storage; this is especially important for storage of
the machine over winter periods.
It is recommended, wherever possible, that the machine is stored in its work position; in this
mode the wheels are raised clear of the ground so the weight of the machine is supported on
the rollers and not on the tyres. An additional benefit when folded into this position is that the
ram rod will be retracted within the cylinder therefore protecting its chromed surface.
