Gremo1050F4 Instruction manual
The gate is operated via the two buttons (gate upright, high
and gate folded, low) on the left armrest panel. See 4.4
Left arm rest panel functions , page 56.
Do not drive with the crane hanging freely, instead place it
on the loading platform.
Fig. 112 Loading over the top of
the gate
NOTICE
Never load over the top of the gate!
Overloading leads to worse stability, and during downhill
driving the timber may slide over the gate and damage
the machine.
NOTICE
Never try to knock the logs level against the gate, it is not
intended for this purpose!
It’s easier to turn the machine, reverse it uphill and then
load it. The timber will slide against the gate more easily.
When loading timber it might be easier to start loading at
the bottom end of the bunks with the gate in Pulpwood-
position. When the bottom is covered, you then fold the
gate into Timber-position.
NOTICE
Due to the large loading area it’s easy to exceed the
maximum load capacity of the machine when loading
timber and pulpwood in various lengths. The warranty
will not cover damage caused by overloading.
Loading and unloading can be done while the machine is
moving.
Remember that in normal cases, the articulated joint lock
is released when the machine starts to move, resulting in
inferior stability if the crane is slewed. Releasing the
throttle locks the articulated joint lock straight away.
By avoiding loading while the machine is rolling in difficult
terrain and moving the machine with timber suspended
from the grapple, you decrease the risk of accidents as
well as strain on the chassis.
