USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS – FORESTRY TRAILER WITH CRANE
•
Check that the crane is undamaged before connecting it to the vehicle.
•
Connect the equipment and lock it in place. Always check the locking pins before use.
•
There is usually air in the system at the start. Carefully extend all cylinders fully a few of times
to purge any air from the system.
•
Calmly and methodically practise the movement pattern used for loading and unloading tim-
ber on the trailer.
•
Keep the crane low down when in transit.
•
There is less stability when starting to load. Exercise caution!
•
Both stabilisers must be lowered when loading and unloading. Timber must bit be pulled
with the crane when driving the tractor. The tractor must be stationary when using the crane.
•
The articulated boom must not be fully closed and then press the lifting arm pressed down-
ward. The crane is designed to lift timber and not pressing down on it. Maximum driving
speed is 30 km/h.
•
Loads must be spread evenly across the trailer. All protruding loads should be well anchored.
•
IMPORTANT! It is important that the trailer is on level and firm ground during loading to avoid
the trailer tipping over.
•
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance between the tractor, trailer, or highest point when you
are passing a low suspended power cable.
•
Always check the oil level in the crane’s swivel housing. Low oil level can cause the arm to
swing uncontrolled.
•
Warning! Never lift a load if the grapple loader arm is positioned at the end position (if fully ex-
tended). Move the grapple loader closer to the trailer before lifting the load. Read the crane's
operating manual for more information about the lifting capacity.
•
Keep the grapple loader low during transport. It must be positioned correctly to avoid the
trailer tipping over.
•
Grease all lubrication points regularly.
NOTE
The operator must keep an eye on the working area at all times.
If this is not possible, the operator must work with an assistant.
