3 Commissioning
NOTE
These work activities may be carried out only by persons trained by HORSCH for this
purpose.
WARNING
Increased danger of accidents during commissioning.
Ø
Observe the notes in the Safety chapter and familiarise yourself with the ma-
chine!
3.1 Delivery
The machine with implements is normally delivered completely assembled on a low
loader.
If parts or assembly groups had to be disassembled for transport purposes, these
will be assembled locally by the sales partner or field technician.
Depending on the design of the low loader the machine can be unloaded with a
tractor or needs to be lifted off with suitable lifting gear (forklift truck or crane).
Ø
Use only lifting equipment and lifting gear with adequate lifting capacity and
approval!
Ø Points with the associated stickers "Strapping point" must not be used for
load suspension!
When using other lifting points pay careful attention to the centre of gravity and the
weight distribution. These points must, in any case, only be on the frame of the ma-
chine.
3.2 Transport
Depending on country specific regulations and working width the equipment can be
transported on public roads, either attached to a tractor or on a trailer or low
loader.
1. The permissible dimensions and weights for transport must be complied with.
2. Choose the tractor large enough, to ensure sufficient steering and braking
capabilities.
3. For machine with 2-point connection, block the tractor link arms against
swinging sideways.
4. Secure the machine on a trailer or low loader with suitable securing means
(e.g. Load straps or chains).
5. Attach lifting tackle only at the marked points.
