HOPPER SAFETY SUPPORT
CAUTION!
Before performing any maintenance procedure under or near to the lifted hopper, pull the locking handle (39) to
make sure the hopper safety support (5) is in place. The hopper safety support (5) holds the hopper in the lifted
position to allow work to be performed under the hopper. Never rely on the machine’s hydraulic components to
safely support the hopper.
JACKING THE MACHINE
WARNING!
Never work under a machine without safety stands or blocks to support the machine.
When jacking the machine, do so at designated locations (do not jack on the hopper) - see jacking locations (8).
MACHINE TRANSPORT
WARNING!
Before transporting the machine on an open truck or trailer, make sure that:
All access doors are latched securely.
–
The machine is tied down securely.
–
The parking brake is engaged.
–
PUSHING/TOWING THE MACHINE
The machine hydraulic pump (45) is equipped with a screw that disengages the traction system. The system prevents damage to
the hydraulic system when the machine is being towed/pushed short distances without using the engine.
To access the unlocking screw, open the engine compartment hood (1) by using the unlocking push-button (25) and locate the
hydraulic pump (45) in the front part of the engine (44).
Turn the socket head screw (A, Fig. 1) half turn counter-clockwise to disengage the hydrostatic lock between the engine and pump.
CAUTION!
The hydraulic pump can be damaged if the machine is towed when the screw is in the normal working position
(locked).
NOTE
If the screw is left in unlocking position, the hydraulic pump cannot drive the machine.
NOTE
Tow or push the machine no faster than a normal walking pace [1.8-2.8 mph (3-4.5 km/h)] and for short distances only.
If the machine is to be moved long distances the driving wheels need to be raised off the
fl
oor and placed on a suitable
transport dolly.
After pushing/towing the machine, turn the socket head screw half turn clockwise to reset the hydraulic functions.
