3.
Take care to note the allowed maximum axle weights, total weights and transportinq
dimensions of the combination.
4.
All accessories and equipment used for moving the chipper (chains, drawbars, tie-rods
(etc.) must be attached and placed in such a way that any inadvertent movements
cannot affect them in any manner when the machine is either operating or being
transported.
5.
The manoeuvrability of the tractor during any transportation and its steering or
braking. Characteristics may be affected adversely by trailed or hitchmounted
implements or extra weights. It is therefore imperative to ensure that the tractor can
be properly steered and braked down under all circumstances.
6.
It is forbidden to carry passangers on top of a moving chipper.
7.
The machine may be lifted only from points clearly marked for the attachment of a
lifting hook.
8.
Always use only approved lifting ropes or chains and always also check their condition
before attempting a lifting operation.
9.
If the machine is to be transported on a truck or a trailer bed make sure to use proper
straps or chains to tie the machine.
10.
If a fork lift or equivalent is used i.e. to load the machine on a truck, care must be
taken to ensure that the machine is properly balanced and that there is no danger of
its falling down on the ground.
4.4 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
1.
Before attempting any cleaning, lubrication, assembling or adjustment operations,
always ensure first that the tractor PTO is disengaged and the engine stopped remove
the ignition key from the starter switch to prevent any accidental starting up of the
tractor or the implement.
2.
Use suitable blocks to make the machine securely immovable before commencing any
maintenance operations on the machine.
4.5
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1.
After having coupled the chipper's hydraulic system to the tractor hydraulic system
outlets and started the engine, the chipper hydraulic system is pressurized by the high
tractor system pressure. A burst of high pressure oil will penetrate the skin and may
cause grievous bodily harm. A risk of injury exists even when looking for possible oil
leaks.
2.
Take extra care when handling any hydraulic components. Due to their nature there
exists a risk of skin cuts or getting fingers bruised between binding components.
3.
When coupling the tractor and chipper hydraulic hoses together, the hydraulic systems of
both units must be non-pressurized.
