Operating Procedures Of The Snow Blade Functions - Bonatti LSN Series Operation And Maintenance Manual

6. OPERATING PROCEDURES OF THE SNOW BLADE FUNCTIONS

The snow blade can be positioned in different ways:
1. Coupling position to farm tractor
2. Transport position after coupling to farm tractor
3. Working position
4. Transport position after work
5. Parking position
One or more phases describe wich are the operating procedures to do in order to
get the Snow Blade in the required position.
6.1 COUPLING POSITION OF THE SNOW BLADE TO THE FARM TRACTOR
With coupling position we mean the Snow Blade in non-working conditions, that
is detached from the farm tractor and supported by the stabilizing foot. To
transport the Snow Blade with the farm tractor, first of all it must be coupled to
the farm tractor, following the procedure phases here below.
6.6.1. Coupling phase to the farm tractor
a) Start the farm tractor and back up or go ahead slowly, according to the position
of the Snow Blade coupler, so that the lower holes of the fixed support to the farm
tractor hoisting device arms are matching.
b) Stop the engine
c) Approach the hoisting device arms to the side pins.
d) By hand, insert the left and right hoisting device arm (1st and 2nd point) with
the safety split pin in the lower pins, so as to couple the Snow Blade to the farm
tractor. In case of farm tractor provided with rapid coupling, make sure that
mechanical locks are provided.
N.B. In case the mechanical safety lock and the safety split pins are not inserted,
the Company Bonatti declines any civil and penal responsibility.
e) Connect the upper third point of the Snow Blade to the farm
tractor with mechanical screw arm provided with safety lock,
by fastening it with the lock through pin and split pin.
N.B. In case of accident due to a wrong performing of the above operations, the
Company Bonatti declines any civil or penal responsibility.
f) Connect the two hydraulic flexible pipes with rapid coupling to
the farm tractor.
g) Lift the mechanical stabilizing foot and lock it in rest
position by means of the special setscrew.
