9. TRANSPORTATION OF THE MACHINE
LOADING AND UNLOADING FROM A VEHICLE
For transportation it is pReferable to use a vehicle with an open bed.
Choose firm, flat ground.
Switch off the vehicle’s ignition, put into reverse gear, pull on the hand brake and block
the tyres with chocks to prevent accidental movement of the vehicle.
WARNING
Alzare al massimo il gruppo di taglio del trinciasarmenti , per evitare il rischio di pericolose
interferenze con i bordi delle rampe
Do not stand in front of the machine
Firmly hook the loading ramps onto the vehicle bed.
Use stable load ramps with a non-slip surface strong enough to take the weight of the
machine.
The inclination of the ramps must not exceed 15°.
Recommended length : at least 3
1
/
2
times the vehicle bed’s height from the ground.
Recommended width : to be chosen according to the tyre width of the machine
Proceed with the loading of the machine, manoeuvring it caRefully. Set the accelerator
lever at minimum (Fig. 1 Ref. B) and the speed lever ( Fig. 2 Ref. N) to the 1
st
gear
setting
Using the lever as shown in Figure 2 Ref. O, engage the forward gear for loading, or
the reverse gear for unloading.
During loading/unloading operations on the ramps avoid operating the flail clutch (Fig.
1 Ref. D), the gear lever (Fig. 2 Ref. O) and the right and left wheel release levers (Fig.
1 Ref. E and E1) because such actions may prove extremely dangerous.
Line the front wheels up with the centre of the loading ramps.
Take care when the machine passes from the loading ramps to the vehicle bed, because
a shift in balance occurs.
Once loaded, turn off the engine using the relative switch (Fig. 2 Ref.M), make sure
that the service brake has automatically come into operation upon release of the forward
clutch control levers ( Fig. 1 Ref. A), block the machine wheels using chocks and firmly
tie the machine to the vehicle.
