Transport of the cleaner
The cleaner is equipped with transport brackets at
delivery, for the purpose of maneuvering during loading
and unloading, and to protect the cleaner during trans-
portation. The transport brackets will also be used for
transportation on level surfaces.
The cleaner is having small wheels in the back end for
transportation in the length direction. This can be useful
when loading the unit into or out of a container.
On KDC8000 front transport bracket, a fork bracket is
attached. On forklifts having hydraulics to move the
forks sideways, the bracket is put on the end of the
forks, and the forks are pushed together to hold the
bracket. The hydraulics is normally strong enough to
hold the bracket during transportation of the cleaner
forward and backwards.
If the fork lift is not having hydraulics to operate the
forks, the enclosed chain is used to hold the bracket in
such a way that it is not pulled off the forks when mov
-
ing backwards.
Installation:
The cleaner must be installed on a firm, level and hori
-
zontal surface. During installation, pay attention to the
following:
• the side doors of the cleaner bind
• the thumbscrew in the side doors cannot be
screwed in
• the magnetic contacts on the side doors do not
work properly
If one or more of the above problems occur, the cleaner
should be leveled by support under the legs or under
the lifting arrangement. See sections "Operation" and
"Troubleshooting".
If the cleaner is mounted on a platform or similar, it is
important that the cleaner is secured against falling
down. It is therefore advised to bolt it to the floor, by
means of the two supplied floor brackets.
The floor brackets are attached to the angled brace at
delivery of the cleaner. They can be removed for at-
tachment onto the transport wheels´ axle. Hereafter the
floor bracket can be bolted onto the floor.

tion to discharge pipe on auger)
The cleaner should be horizontal before adjusting the
inclination of the drum (see section "Inclination"). If
adjustment is needed, the cleaner can be lifted and
the bolts / legs moved, so that horizontal adjustment is
achieved.
