(4) Traveling
[1] This machine cannot travel on local road and must
be carried on a truck, etc., to the field.
[2] This machine can carry only one person. No one
except for the driver can ride the machine. Any
consequence of the machine carrying a person or
persons other than the driver will be the
responsibility of the user.
[3] Do not drive at high speed, take off suddenly,
accelerate rapidly, apply emergency braking or
make a sharp turn unless necessary.
[4] Do not carry a load exceeding the maximum
payload (reagent tank filled with water and
attachments installed). Excessive loading will not
only lead to machine damage, but it may also
cause an accident.
(5) Entering/Exiting a Field
(Refer to P.**.)
[1] Enter the field at low speed by orienting the
machine vertically to the furrows.
[2] If there are large height gaps or the approach path
is soft, be sure to use footboards as you enter/exit
the field. Failure to do so may cause the machine to
tip over, creating a very dangerous situation.
[3] Maintain the approach path so that the inclination
angle of approach to the field is kept within 15
degrees.
(6) Loading/Unloading to/from a Truck
(Refer to P. **.)
[1] When loading the machine to a truck, empty the
reagent tank and drive the machine head in. When
unloading the machine, drive the machine slowly in
reverse.
[2] Use a truck whose payload is 2,000 kg or more.
[3] Move the machine slowly using anti-slip footboards
of sufficient strength, length and width (30 cm or
more).
[4] Securely hook the footboards by leaving no height
gap or misalignment on the load-carrying platform.
[5] If the engine of the machine stalls during loading or
unloading, immediately step on the brake pedal
and then gradually release the brake to lower the
machine onto the road.
[6] Choose flat ground and load/unload the machine in
the presence of/with guidance from the assistant.
(7) Chocking the Tires
Prepare concrete blocks, wooden blocks or other
objects that can be used to chock the tires so that the
machine can be parked safely.
