Machine Operation

LOADING/UNLOADING

•

Always remove blade and cutting head when machine is being moved or trans-
ported

•

Cutting head and slide plate can be removed to make the machine more compact.

•

NEVER leave machine unattended on an incline.

•

Removing added weights help to make the machine easier and safer to move in
and out of a vehicle.

DOCK HEIGHTS

It is best to load or unload the machine from a level/equal dock height (a van from a van
dock height, a truck/semi from a regular dock height).

POWER-GATE

A power-gate can be used when the dock height is not available. Make sure gate is prop-
erly rated for 1590 kg (3500 lb). Make certain the machine is secure so it does not roll off
the power-gate. To better secure machine, raise machine onto the lowered cutting head,
raising machine off the caster. Tie machine down, chock wheels.

RAMPS

To be safe, the ramp needs to be very long to accommodate the machine being loaded/
unloaded. Remove added weight. Make sure ramp is secured. Do not have at a steep in-
cline. The use of a power winch or hand come-a-long is much safer. For a van, the ramp
should be 3.6 to 5.5 m (12 to 18 feet) in length depending on the depth of the incline.
For truck height taller than a van, longer ramps will be needed. See OSHA guidelines. It
is not recommended to drive the machine, connected with power, on a ramp. Make sure
ramp is secure and has good contact before using. Failure to do so could cause ramp to
fall away from the vehicle.

NOTE:

SEE CORRECT AND SAFE OPERATING ANGLES AND CENTER OF GRAVITY ON PAGE 15.

FORKLIFT CUPS

There are two forklift cups mounted under the front of the machine (See Figure L). Slide
fork lift forks through forklift cups. Slide forks all the way back to touch the rear tire (See
Figure M). Before lifting machine, secure machine to fork lift with heavy 1590 kg (3500 lb)
or heavier rope or chain. Tilt forks back to lift machine (See Figure N).

WINCHES

Winches should be used for safety when loading or unloading with ramps. 1590 kg (3500
lb) winch minimum.

TRANSPORTING

Secure machine down with ratchet straps when transporting the machine. Chock wheels
to keep machine from rolling, hydraulic levers should not be locked in the forward or
backward position. Hydraulic levers should be straight up in the “neutral” position. This
helps to lock drive wheels. Lift machine off swivel caster by lowering cutting head for
better stabilization. Proper securing straps need to be rated at least twice the weight of
the machine.

WARNING:

MACHINE HAS A SWIVEL FRONT CASTER. NEVER SIDE HILL

(SEE FIGURE K). THE MACHINE ON A INCLINE WITHOUT POWER, THE FRONT
CASTER WILL CAUSE MACHINE TO SWING TO THE LOWEST POINT. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO RUN MACHINE ON AN INCLINE, RUN MACHINE ON CUTTING

HEAD. PLACE AT LEAST A 8’’ CUTTING HEAD IN MACHINE. TO KEEP FROM DAMAGING
FLOOR, CLAMP A PIECE OF CARPET INTO CUTTING HEAD TO SLIDE ON THE FLOOR. THIS
WILL GIVE POSITIVE CONTACT WITH THE FLOOR WHEN POWER IS DISENGAGED FROM
THE WHEELS.

CAUTION: DO NOT SIDE HILL

Caution: Machine is back heavy. Do not run on steep incline.

This could cause machine to tip over.
