Operation
Air Brake System
Air Brakes Delay Hazard
Drill service braking may not be
immediately available upon tractor
connection with the air system. Tractor and
drill reservoir tanks must be pressurized.
Before moving, wait for the tractor air
system to reach full charge after drill is
connected to tractor.
The brakes are applied with air pressure. Brakes are
released by spring tension in the brake
chambers (1).
The brakes are controlled by air pressure from the
tractor through the yellow-coded air line (2). The air
reservoir (3) on the drill is pressurized by the tractor
through the red-coded air line (4).
When the trailer brakes on the tractor are applied, air
pressure is released through the yellow-coded air
line to the relay-emergency valve (5). The
relay-emergency valve regulates the amount of
pressure being released from the air reservoir into
the brake chambers. Air pressure enters the two
brake chambers and applies the brakes.
Before disconnecting the brakes, determine the
position of the button for the shunt valve (6). The
button is located on left-hand side of the machine
just behind the ladder.
If the button is all the way out when the air lines
are removed and there is enough air pressure in
the brake system, the brakes will be applied.
If the button is all the way in when the air lines
are removed, air pressure will be released from
the brake system, and the brakes will be
released.
Transporting the Machine
Inadequate Tractor Hazard
Using an inadequate tow vehicle can result
in loss of control, serious injury, and death.
Do not tow if drill exceeds the load rating of
the vehicle.
Excessive Speed Hazard
Do not exceed the maximum transport
speed. Towing the drill at high speeds can
lead to loss of vehicle control and a serious
road accident.
Accident Hazards
Use wing fold lock. Check that implement
center section lift lock is engaged. Failure
to do so can result in serious injury or
death, and equipment damage.
Transport Checklist
Material may be loaded before transport, but
increases stopping distance, increases the need for
caution in turns and braking, and increases tire and
brake wear.
Plan the route. Avoid steep hills. Keep
clearances in mind. See “
Hitch the tractor to the drill. Make hydraulic,
electrical and optional braking connections. See
“
Close hopper lids.
Check that ladders and markers are stowed.
Inflate tires to factory specifications.
Raise, fold, and lock the drill.
With tractor in park, remove the wheel chocks, if
supplied.
Turn on beacon.
Turn on all lights for highway operation.
Comply with all national, regional and local safety
laws when traveling on public roads.
Release all brakes.
Flat Bed Transporting
When moving the machine onto or off of a flat bed
trailer, the caster wheels can be locked so the
machine can be moved in a straight line making it
easier to load or unload.
