8. TRANSPORTING THE TURF-STRIPPER
The user is responsible for transporting the Turf-Stripper in back of the tractor over public
roads. Verify the national legislation regarding the regulations.
On open fields while the machine is raised and if circumstances allow this, the maximum
permitted speed is 12 km/h (8 mph) due to the weight of the Turf-Stripper.
A higher speed can be dangerous for the driver and/or the public and can even damage the
machine.
Make sure that the uppermost top rod is attached and is pressurized in the
transport position (position 5)! See Chapter 4.0, figure 9.
If this is not done, the machine can incur serious damage.
!! Attention: the transport belt has to be tipped up !!
When the machine is raised off the ground, the front axle of the tractor has to
support minimum 20% of its weight.
9. DRIVING SPEED
The driving speed depends on the conditions and the required result. It is maximum 3 km/h
(1.8 mph).
It is NOT recommended to drive faster due to the fact that excessive wear & tear and
damage can occur to the machine and to the subsoil.
10. USING THE TURF-STRIPPER
Before using the Turf-Stripper in a location, you should check the following items:
1. Are there loose objects in the field? First remove these objects.
2. Are there slopes? The maximum slope is 20 degrees for this machine.
3. Always go from top to bottom.
4. Is there danger of flying objects (e.g., balls) that distract the attention of
the driver? If so, the Turf-Stripper
CANNOT be used.
5. Is there danger of sinking/sliding away? If so, postpone the processing
until conditions improve.
6. Are there hard objects in the ground? If so, use the Turf-Stripper with a
low PTO speed and, if necessary, adjust the working depth.
7. If the soil is very wet, postpone the activities until conditions improve.
