4.5 Manual moving of the machine
To move the machine manually push the paddles in with your foot. The wheels are now disengaged from the
drive motors. The machine can now be pushed around on its wheels.
Make sure that the floor is flat, because the machine is uncontrolled now!
It is very dangerous to push the
machine on a grade or ramp when the drive system is in “neutral” ! Never load or unload the machine
on a ramp or incline when the wheels are in the disengage mode. Failure to do so could cause machine to run
away, damage to the machine, damage to property or cause serious injury.
Push the paddles in gear when parking the machine, engaging the wheels to the drive system will act like a
parking brake when the machine is turned off.
WARNING! Always make sure all rotating parts have come to a complete standstill before moving the
machine around.
Be careful! Make sure nobodies feet get under the wheels. Wear appropriate safety shoes when you drive the
machine to or from the work area.
Make sure that no vehicles, such as forklift trucks and other equipment run over the electric cable and the dust
hose.
