Tracks
Crushing
Ensure area is clear of bystanders while moving the machine
Ensure the operator is controlling the machine from a point
where he/she has complete and unobscured vision of the
machine and its surroundings in the direction of travel
Towing safety
Rotate the discharge chute to face the opposite direction of the towing vehicle before towing and lock into position
Lock the feed table in the up position
Connect the tow coupling to the towing vehicle (check the ball dimensions are the same as the coupling).
Connect safety chain with shackle
If the trailer is fitted with brakes, check handbrake is off and road brakes are on by removing the reversing lever
Check rear brake and indicator lights are operational
Check wheel nuts and axle U-bolts periodically to make sure they are secure
Ensure the jockey wheel is in the up position and locked away during transport
Ensure the machine is sufficiently secured to the trailer
Ensure the machine is towed in accordance with local trailer transport regulations
Track operation safety
Pre-driving checks
✓
Ensure the rotor is disengaged
✓
Ensure the inlet table is locked in the upright position
✓
Ensure the outlet chute is locked in the forward-facing position
✓
All drivers must read all driving instructions before driving for the first time
✓
First time operators should familiarise themselves with the controls in an open, flat, controlled area free of people and
traffic
✓
Ensure the engine throttle is set to at least half way before operating the tracks
Driving considerations
Make sure that the work site terrain is stable enough to firmly support your chipper.
Driving in water and mud should be avoided where possible to reduce track wear and corrosion of the chassis and electrical
wiring/components. If it is not possible to avoid, the chipper should only be driven through water if: the bottom of the
travel path is firm and level; the water is calm and flows slowly; and the water level does not rise above the top surface of
the tracks. Be very careful about the type of bottom of the water path since if it is very soft, the machine may slowly sink
down
It is recommended to wash the undercarriage if it has been driven in salt water or if dirt and mud has made its way into
the track rollers and driving sprockets. Excessive dirt, mud, and sand in the tracks causes unnecessary wear
All operators must comply with local laws for operating and driving a tracked vehicle
Hold the remote with both hands and use the neck strap provided
Ensure the speed setting on the track remote is set to “reduced speed” w
hen making precise manoeuvres and when
mounting and dismounting transport trailers.
The tracks have a built-in braking system that is automatically applied when the joysticks are returned to their resting
positions. Be careful not to release the joysticks too quickly as the brakes could destabilise the machine, especially on
steep terrain
