Transport

It is vital that the drive is stopped before transport.
Disconnect the machine from the mains.

▪ In addition, pull out the plug of the device.

Disengage the universal joint shaft on the tractor.

▪ Before disengaging, turn the manual throttle to minimum.

The splitting blade must be retracted before transporting the machine.

 Make sure the shut-off rod is also fully retracted.

The machine may only be transported in the vertical position or leaning backwards. For

horizontal transportation, the ventilation screw must be replaced by a G1/2" screw plug.
 
Machines with a petrol engine may be tipped for transport, but not turned over as engine oil

can seep into the air filter.

▪ This can render the motor useless.

The machine may be tipped to a maximum angle of 30°.

Moving by hand

Hold the machine by the transport handles, tip it back and move it.

Transporting by three-point linkage on the tractor

▪ Attach the machine to the three-point linkage and use the tractor hydraulics to raise it.

If the tractor's rear lights are obscured, a light must be fitted to the rear of the machine (e.g.

magnetic holder, clip-on light, etc.)
Due to the weight of the machine, the tractor-machine combination can become unstable.
In order to test the overall stability, the following formula can be used to calculate the

minimum weight on the front side I

F,min

 with a minimum front axle load of 20% of the empty

weight of the tractor:
