Driving controls are all situated on the engine cover and operated while at the
standing on the fold down foot plate. Always mount and unmount the foot plate only
when the machine is in the closed position.
The two outer levers control track rotation direction and speed. When used equally
together, this gives forward and reverse and speed increase with greater lever
movement. Steering is by using the levers in differing proportions, in opposition or
each on their own. Both levers used in extreme opposition will cause the machine to
spin on its axis.
The two inside levers control the width and height of the chipper. The left and right
hand side can be adjusted separately, achieving the safest position.
Avoid driving on ground too soft to support the machine’s weight.
Take great care when driving on inclined ground as there is a risk of the machine
toppling. This is most likely when turning or crossing the incline, try to avoid these
manoeuvres. Do not drive on ground with an incline in excess of 25°.
Caution!
Do not drive up or down slopes of more than 25°.
Caution!
Dependant on ground conditions this machine can traverse
gradients up to 35°. Do not traverse gradients in excess of 35° and take care
when traversing any gradient especially when ground conditions are slippery
or loose.
Make sure the engine and hydraulic oil are warm before working on inclined ground.
If the machine has to be stopped on an incline, make sure that the machine is
pointing either up or down the slope. Also chock both tracks at the downhill end.
Transportation
Always carryout loading to and unloading from the transporting vehicle on
solid level ground.
Use a loading ramp of less than 15° that is strong and wide enough to take
the machine’s weight.
Make sure the ramp and transporting vehicle bed are clean and free of mud,
ice or oil. If slippery, this presents a danger.
In cold weather, make sure the engine and hydraulic oil are warm before
loading/unloading.
Do not steer the machine while on ramps, this is extremely dangerous. If
adjustment has to be made, drive back onto ground or vehicle bed, steer, then
negotiate the ramps.
Drive slowly while loading/unloading and take care when the machine passes
over hump at the ramp to bed join.
Position the machine at the trailer/vehicle bed centre.
