9. TRANSPORTATION OF THE MACHINE
LOADING AND UNLOADING FROM A VEHICLE
§
For transportation it is preferable to use a vehicle with an open bed.
§
Choose firm, flat ground.
§
Switch off the vehicle
’s ignition, put into reverse gear, pull on the hand brake and block
the tyres with chocks to prevent accidental movement of the vehicle.
WARNING
Raise the flail mower cutting unit to maximum height to prevent danger of
its catching the ramp edges
§
Do not stand in front of the machine
§
Firmly hook the loading ramps onto the vehicle bed.
Use stable load ramps with a non-slip surface strong enough to take the weight of the
machine.
The inclination of the ramps must not exceed 15°.
Recommended length : at least 3
1 /
2
times the vehicle bed
’s height from the ground.
Recommended width : to be chosen according to the track width of the machine
§
Proceed with the loading of the machine, manoeuvring it carefully. Set the accelerator
lever at minimum (Fig. 1 Ref. B), the gear handle ( Fig. 2 Ref. N) to the 1
st gear setting and
the FAST/SLOW speed handle in slow position.
§
Using the handle as shown in Figure 2 Ref. N, engage the forward gear for loading, or the
reverse gear for unloading.
§
During loading/unloading operations on the ramps avoid operating the flail clutch (Fig. 1
Ref. D), the speed and gear handles (Fig. 2 Ref. N and O), and the right and left wheel
release levers (Fig. 1 Ref. E and E1) because such actions may prove extremely
dangerous.
§
Line the front wheels up with the centre of the loading ramps.
§
Take care when the machine passes from the loading ramps to the vehicle bed, because
a shift in balance occurs.
§
Once loaded, turn off the engine using the relative switch (Fig. 2 Ref.M), make sure that
the service brake has automatically come into operation upon release of the forward
clutch control levers( Fig. 1 Ref. A), block the machine wheels using chocks and firmly tie
the machine to the vehicle.
