pumping mode.
- Raise the arm and the hook as far as possible to
ensure good visibility and avoid crushing the heap
following a collision.

avoid scraping the heel along the ground, then
reverse towards the front of the silo.
- Set the heel of the machine on the ground before
contacting the silage to be unloaded.
For a corridor silo, position the machine slightly on the
bias so as to load as close to the wall as possible.

you must set the gearbox to neutral..
Never attempt to penetrate the silo by
reversing forcefully.
