Finally, reset the switch marked ‘lift to operate’ to conveyor side shift function.
To fold the cross conveyor:
1.
Move the conveyor fully to the LH side of the machine using conveyor side
shift function.
2.
Reset the switch marked ‘lift to operate’ to conveyor fold function.
3.
Fully raise the conveyor using the adjacent toggle switch.
4.
Refit the transport lock pin (item 2, fig 11) and secure with the R’ clip.
Rhizome Discharge Elevator (optional)
The optional discharge elevator is fitted in place of the cross conveyor. The elevator
is designed to discharge the lifted material into a trailer running along side. Drive to
the elevator web is by means of two hydraulic motors, one at each end of the web.
The elevator is unfolded for work using the control box ‘elevator fold’ switch.
Before operating the discharge elevator, ensure everyone in the vicinity
is aware of your intentions and that there are no overhead restrictions.
See the HSE information sheet within this handbook.
Axle Steering
The axle steering is used to keep the machine correctly in the rows especially on
sidling slopes. The steering indicator (item 1, fig 12) shows the current position of the
wheels. The proximity sensors (item 2, fig 12) are part of the auto-centring circuit.
Hydraulically Damped Drawbar (optional)
The hydraulically damped drawbar is fitted to protect the machine when operating in
soil conditions where buried obstructions may be encountered. The system consists
of a hydraulic ram mounted within the drawbar pressurised by an accumulator (item
1, fig 13).
