6.19 Steering Axles
Amity offers the option of steerable rear
axles. This allows the harvester to have a
shorter turning radius and increased con-
trol over the rear of the machine.
6.20 Machine Shutdown
To ensure maximum life of the machine, follow this procedure when stopping:
1.
Raise the harvester out of the ground with the PTO still engaged. Continue running the PTO at
1000 RPM until the grabroll bed is empty and the harvester is completely clear of beets.
2.
Once there are no beets left in harvester, throttle the tractor down to idle and disengage the PTO.
CAUTION:
When shutting down or reducing ground speed, the PTO must remain turning at 1000
RPM until the harvester is completely clear of beets. Failure to allow the necessary time for the
machine to cycle through beets will result in imminent damage to the drivebelt and/or other compo-
nents.
