CHAPTER 6 – Accessories and options
6.1 – Optional equipment
6.1.1 – Take-off unit
Machines equipped with a take-off unit require two operators for use with
the grinding hose.
Stop the engine before working on the wheel or hose.
■ Assembling the hose
Having first checked that the petrol tank is not too full to avoid fuel leaks
(if applicable), reassemble the wheel so that it is retracted as far as possible
inside its protective guard.
Tilt the machine to the operating arm side so as to make the take-off unit
accessible. Remove the take-off unit protective cap and fasten the hose
drive.
Starting the engine
■
If the hose is equipped with a clutch (compulsory for EC use), use of the
take-off unit only calls for one operator.
Two operators are required if the hose has no clutch. The first operator
who fastened the selected tool must take over control of the wheel-holder
and wait for operation to start, controlled by the second operator. He must
not put down the wheel-holder until the engine has been completely
stopped by the second operator. As long as the engine is running, one of
the operators must remain in place close to the engine in order to stop it
immediately should an incident of any kind occur.
■ Precautions of use
During grinding, take all necessary precautions to avoid directing the spark
jet towards the second operator (he must be equipped with goggles and
gloves).

P a g e
Do not bend the hose excessively, as this could damage the drive and, in
some cases, lead to accidents in the case of sudden breakage due to
improper use.
After stopping the engine, the hose shall be disassembled, and the take-
off cap properly put back in place. To continue work, put the machine back
on the track prior to operation.
