Use a crane or lift when transporting the machine, use the existing lifting eyes / lugs of the machine.
3.10 Signs on the machine The following stickers are placed on the machine. Meanings of these symbols are: ! Danger Hazardous voltage in motor Wear a dust mask class FFP3 or higher. even when solid state controller is OFF. Disconnect main power before servicing motor, controller or associated wiring.
4. Initial operation Before using the machine it is of great importance to inspect the machine every day. It is not permitted to use the machine if the machine safety is not according the checkpoints below. 4.1 Checkpoints of electrical safety (E-version) Use only extension cables for extending the main cable that are sized and marked in accordance with ...
4.3 Removing the drum Pull out the main plug before starting removing the drum. Always wear protecting gloves and a dustmask of at least class FFP3. Use an additional vacuum cleaner in order to work as dust free as possible. Always wear a dust mask during these operations, class FFP3 or higher.
Lift the pallet truck so the drum will be supported by the pallet truck. Mount a rope on the two eyes which are mounted inside the drum. Pull the drum from the axle, and support the drum. Changing picks on the drum Lift the pallet truck up and put the drum on the drum supports.
5. Operating BMP-4000 LEFT / RIGHT CILINDER : the numbers will indicate the height of the back wheels in millimetres. (The right cylinder measuring system is optional) set “0” : these buttons are used to set the indication of the height to zero. Reset Both : pushing this button will undo the set “0”...

Symbol Meaning Battery charge control Fault in the alternator or alternator charging circuit. The battery is no longer charged. Eliminate the fault immediately. Consult the Hatz manual! Oil pressure display Switch off the engine immediately! Danger of engine damage. Check the oil level. Consult the Hatz manual! Contact Hatz service if the oil level is correct.
Procedure when faults occur Check the indicators (21-23). After the engine comes to a standstill, the fault will continue to be displayed by the indicator for approx. another 2 minutes. Then the electrical equipment switches off automatically. Set the starting key to position "0".
Working with the machine Make sure the drum is off the surface and the machine is levelled. Turn switch (13) from “Drive” to “Milling”. Turn switch (12) to “Milling ON” and wait for a few seconds to start up the drum Set the “Speed”...
Folding in the wheels Both wheels can be folded in. The right hand wheel, so the machine can be closer to the wall and the left hand wheel to change the hydraulic motor or to go through small passages. Milling is not possible when the left hand wheel is folded in. Right hand wheel: To fold in the RH wheel, lower the machine in levelled position until the drum supports on the surface.
Switching off the diesel engine There is a danger of injury if unauthorized persons handle the machine. Protect the starting key against unauthorized access upon breaks in operation or after completing work. Protect the ignition lock against dirt and moisture. When the starting key is pulled out, seal the ignition lock with the protective cap.
