Original instructions (ENGLISH)
Website: www.spearheadmachinery.com
Figure 3.5
Check underneath the machine and remove any restrainer wire or cable ties used to prevent blade movement
during transport; see Figure 3.5.
Inspect the underside of the machine for damage and ensure the blade rotates freely and does not foul on the
body.
WARNING!
Before attempting to access the underside of the machine, ensure it is adequately and
safely supported. Do not rely on the tractor’s hydraulics. Use safety supports that have a minimum Safe
Working Load (SWL) of 1.5 tonnes.

Transportation
3.3.1
Putting Into Transport Position
Figure 3.6
With the P.T.O. shaft correctly connected, raise the machine to a safe transport position. Ensure there is a
clearance of at least 100mm between the underside of the shaft and the body of the machine whilst in the
transport position. Lock the lift arm stop in this position; see Figure 3.6.
CAUTION!
Raising the tractor lift arms too high may cause damage to the P.T.O. shaft if the tractor
was to drive over any bumps and the machine was to bounce on the lift arms.
Check that there is no lateral movement on the machine when it is in the raised position. Adjust the tractor
stabiliser chains (or bars) if required.
3.4
Public Roads
WARNING!
Read all the safety instructions carefully before driving on the public road. This will ensure
that dangerous situations and accidents are avoided. Lack of information can cause accidents.
