Transport; Putting Machines Onto Another Vehicle For Transport - SaMASZ UNO 410 Operator's Manual

Prior to mounting the machine, examine technical condition of the mower's hitch assembly and
❑
tractor's 3-point linkage.
Use only genuine pins and cotters to mount the mower on a tractor.
❑
Once the machine is mounted on tractor check stability and manoeuvrability of the latter. Load on
❑
the front axle should be approx. 20% of the weight of tractor. Otherwise, ballast front of the tractor.

4.4. Transport

The lifting, handling and transporting operations can be very dangerous unless they are carried out
with the utmost caution. Have all persons not involved in the actual work move away from the area
and limit the zone where the operations are to be carried out. Also make sure that the area in which
the operations take place is clear and that there is a sufficient escape route, i.e. a free, safe zone
to which the operators can quickly move if the load should fall.
The safety hooks and ropes used to lift the machine must be of an adequate carrying capacity
To minimize the risk of serious injury or death, do the following:
When the machine is converted from the transport position to the work position and vice versa, you
❑
could be pinched or crushed by some of its parts. Take extra care when carrying out these
maneuvers and have all persons keep well clear of the danger zone.
Do not change position of the rake until there are no people or animals around (pay particular
❑
attention to children).
While transporting the rake, put a warning plate with combined lights and reflectors and warning
❑
triangle on the rake.
During transport, always put the rake in its proper and safe transport position. See section 5.3.
❑
Before putting the rake in transport position, make sure that the tractor's PTO is turned off and all
❑
rotating parts have come to a complete stop.
Do not drive over 25 km/h (15 mph). Drive slower if road conditions are poor, especially on irregular
❑
surfaces or steep slopes.
The behavior of the tractor on the road, such as its turning and braking capacities, are affected by
❑
the implements mounted.
When driving on the road after work, check to make sure that the tires and soil working tools are
❑
clean to prevent the road surface from becoming dirty.

4.4.1. Putting machines onto another vehicle for transport

The driver and the carrier are responsible for the rake's transport safety. Equipment and parts
must be secured during transport. To put the rake onto another vehicle in a safe way, please obey the
following rules.
Transport should be done by qualified and specifically trained personnel,
❑
Grab the rake by any lifting device only in places indicated by hook sign.
❑
For rake lifting, use only lifting devices with hoisting capacity larger than rake's weight shown in
❑
data plate. This also applies to ropes and chains used for lifting,
Do not lift if transport belts, belt suspensions, ropes are damaged. Whenever damage to these
❑
parts occurs, replace with new ones,
When mounting slings, chains, handles etc., always set the machine's center of gravity properly,
