Machine Transportation - American Sanders FloorCrafter 8 07104A Operator's Manual

EN
WARNING: The machine is heavy. Remove the motor from the machine before transporting. Get help loading the machine and motor. Use
proper lifting techniques.
Transporting the Machine - Using the Dolly Cart
CAUTION: When deploying the dolly, the drum will contact the floor or ground over which the machine is resting. Care should be taken to
avoid surfaces which might damage or contaminate the drum.
CAUTION: While transporting using the dolly, abrupt changes in the direction of travel or the surface over which the machine is being
transported could cause the machine to tip over. Also, the machine is more likely to tip over when transporting across inclined
surfaces.
Attach the dolly to the rear of the machine as follows:
1. Open the quick release levers (2A) and unscrew the adjustment nuts (2B) to allow installation of the dolly. (See figure 2)
2. Insert the quick release skewers into the dolly brackets and immediately tighten the adjustment nuts until the dolly mechanism will just swing free.
Deploy the dolly under the machine as follows:
1. With the dolly mechanism in place as described above, tip the machine by lifting up on the operators handle to raise the rear of the machine off the floor/ground
until the dolly swings under the machine. (See figure 3)
2. Hold the dolly in position using your foot and allow the machine to tip back and rest on the dolly wheels. (See figure 4)
3. Tip the machine back on all four wheels and close the quick release levers for transport. Some adjustment of the quick release skewers may be necessary to
allow the levers to be tightened securely.
Removing/Storing the dolly:
The dolly can be stored on the machine in the "UP" position or it can be removed and stored separately.
1. Open the quick release levers to loosen the dolly.
2. Lift up on the operators handle to tip the machine forward.
3. Swing the dolly out from under the machine and lower the machine until it rests on its own wheels.
CAUTION: Be careful when lowering the machine. The dolly will swing back toward the operator as the machine is lowered.
4. To store the dolly in the "UP" position, swing the dolly up against the top of the mainframe as far as it will travel and close the quick release
levers to secure it in place. (See Figure 5)
5. To remove the dolly, loosen the quick release adjustment nuts until the levers and nuts clear the counter-bore on the dolly brackets, and remove
the dolly.
6. Tighten the adjustment nuts until the quick release levers can be closed to secure the dolly in place.
