To move the machine with no engine power:
If the engine cannot be started, and it is necessary that the machine has to be moved, follow the procedure
below.
•
Jack-up the conveyor frame at ‘ A ’, sufficient to allow the
cutter blades ’ B ’ to be removed.
•
To prevent the conveyor frame from dropping while
removing the cutter blades, place a suitable support
under the front ground roller ‘
C ’.
•
Remove the cutter blades ‘ B ’.
•
Remove the roller support and lower the conveyor to
place the Front Roller ‘
C ’ on the ground.

•
Remove the Bolts ‘ A ’ securing the ‘Top Hat’ Plate.

WARNING
The machine can now be towed to another location.
Extreme caution must be exercised. It will
not be possible to
steer or apply brakes during this operation.
Do not move the machine onto an incline as it may
‘run-away’.
If the problem with the engine is investigated and not
resolved then a call to your Caterpillar Engine service
representative is necessary.
If the problem cannot be resolved ‘on site’ and is such that
the engine has to be repaired at a Caterpillar Service Center,
it is recommended that the main conveyor is removed from
the machine to enable easier transportation.
To remove the Main Conveyor:
Position a fork lift under the rear end of the conveyor frame, or
use slings, to support it when it is disconnected from the
main frame.
IMPORTANT
To prevent loss of function calibration when disconnecting
the sensor cables: Turn the ignition ‘
ON ’; Switch the system
power ‘ ON ’; Go to System Screen ‘select’; Select ‘Set-Up’;
Activate ‘Shipping Mode’. ( See Section 5 ).
•
Switch off system power and ignition.
•
Turn battery isolator switch ‘ OFF’ .(See P1-11).
•
Disconnect the hydraulic fittings at the bulkhead ‘ A ’,
and ‘ B ’ at the Roll Eject motor.

•
Remove the Conveyor Drive Chain ‘ C ’.
•
Remove the Bearing Bolts ‘ D ’, both sides of the frame.
•

Tooth Count , Auto-Steer and Down Pressure Sensors.
•

The machine can then be ‘winched’ onto a flatbed.
