4.0 Safety
WARNING: Keep clamp side pins in place when
transporting on highways.
When travelling along roads the side clamps are subject to
variable and high loads. Failure or inadvertent operation of
the side clamps could cause very serious injury or damage
to others. Set controls to ‘Road Mode’ prior to road
transport (Fig. 6)
Failure of the hydraulic lines is covered by the load valves
attached to the clamp and lift cylinders. Road Mode should
be used during transport to prevent inadvertent operation.
The safety pins provide a necessary and useful further
safety device should there be a failure of the cylinder.
WARNING:
Take care when operating on sloping ground or when
traversing undulations at speed to prevent overturning of the
stacker. By necessity the machines have a high centre of
gravity when loaded. Caution should always be exercised to
prevent overturning and resulting injury and/or damage.
When picking up bales on sloping ground, always traverse
the slope so that the bales are picked up from the high
(right hand) side.
