A centrifugal pump can also spread the material though a medium pressure outlet. Product Identification Machine Serial Numbers If you need to contact MAJOR or your MAJOR dealer for information on servicing or spare parts, always provide the product model and serial numbers. We suggest that you record your machine details below:...
The acoustic pressure was measured at a distance of 2.6m from the centre of the machine and at a height of 2.0m, with the implement operating in a no load condition - 90 dBA. In a loaded condition & a PTO rate of 540 rpm the obtained value was 97dBA. www.major-equipment.com...
The operator must remain seated while working the machine. Always ensure the PTO has been turned off and the parking brake applied before leaving the tractor cab. The operator must always apply the parking brake, and turn off the engine before leaving machine or carrying out maintenance. NEVER OPERATE THE HYDRAULICS WITH THE TRACTOR SWITCHED OFF www.major-equipment.com...
Disengage the PTO and disconnect the driveline when transporting the implement. MAXIMUM TRANSPORT SPEED MUST NOT EXCEED 30 km/hr (18 MPH). www.major-equipment.com...
It is advisable to drive up and down the slope as oppose to across the slope. Alpine tankers models have a centre of gravity lowered by at least 100mm (depending on the model) compared to a standard LGP tanker. Therefore the Alpine tankers are more suitable to operation on hilly ground. 226 LOWER 1250 COG ALPINE 1379 COG LGP www.major-equipment.com...

24 hours. Before ventilating, fill the tanker up with clean water and then discharge the tanker. it under pressure (repeat at least twice), this will wash off any loose sediments and get rid of most of the slurry fumes inside the tanker. www.major-equipment.com...
Never try lifting a tanker when it is full. Empty the tanker to minimise weight shift. MAJOR recommends that all wheel changing works are carried out by the dealer, whose workshop is fitted with special equipment (crane/jack, trolley, etc.) for lifting the tanker and removing wheels.

Re-set bearing adjustment nuts to give bearing end-float. Bearings The bearings used in MAJOR axles are of the finest materials, and produced to exacting standards. They are selected to give the user considerable service life. To protect this longevity, the following procedure is recommended when servicing is required:- Immerse cups and cones in a suitable cleaning solution.
Page 30
End Float All MAJOR Drum Braked axles are fitted with two rows of tapered roller bearings. To protect normal bearing life, these bearings must not be subjected to preload during assembly and service. End float of between 0.05 and 0.15 mm is therefore recommended.
