9.3 Machine/prime mover matching
The machine must be mounted on the prime mover’s arm instead of the standard bucket, using any of a
number of connection types. Apart from the general instructions given below, the procedures outlined in the
prime mover’s manual (see specific section on the application of equipment) must also be followed.
Example of the operations that must be carried out for a
standard coupling :
1- Position the self-levelling planer on flat,
compact ground, in the non-operative position,
and away from ditches, stores of fuel or any
other substances, and electrical substations
(fig. 1 opposite).
1
2- Move the prime mover towards the machine
slowly, with the loader arm lowered, so that
the adapter plate can be positioned (ref. “a” in
fig. 2 opposite) beneath the upper lip of the
adapter plate fitted on the machine.
Move forwards until it is resting on the lip, as
shown in figure 2 opposite.
2
3- Manoeuvre the prime mover using the
hydraulic controls so that the adapter plate
moves back towards it (ref. “A” in fig. 2
opposite) until it is resting fully on the
machine’s coupling area, as shown in fig. 3
opposite.
