4.0 - Machine Commisioning

IMPORTANT: Loading and unloading operations should only be carried out by
specially trained personnel
DANGER: Increased danger of accidents during commissioning and unloading of
the machine
Observe all safety notes from the safety chapter

4.1 - Machine Delivery

The DSX is typically delivered on a flatbed trailer. Some parts may be disassembled from the
machine for transport purposes and will need to be reassembled locally after unloading. The
easiest way to unload is to typically attach the implement to a suitable tractor (See chapter 3) If
an alternate method of unloading is required (such as lifting with a crane) please consult Horizon
Agricultural Machinery Ltd. for advice and only use lifting equipment with the appropriate lifting
capacities and approvals.
IMPORTANT: Pay attention to all local regulations in relation to transport
dimensions when loading or unloading the machine from a flat bed trailer. Some
components may need to be removed from the implement to comply.

4.1.1 - Unloading the implement

When attaching the implement to the tractor for unloading pay attention to the following sections
(Tractor requirements, Hitching/Unhitching, Hydraulic connections & Transport) When unloading
it is not necessary to connect the drill control terminal however all hydraulic connections bar the
fan and pressureless free flow return should be attached, and the braking system must also be
connected.
1. The tractor must be coupled to the machine using its lift arms as shown in section 6.1.1. The
hydraulic connections should be made as shown in 5.3 and the brakes connected as detailed in
6.1.4.
2. Transport lashings should be removed from the implement in preparation for unloading
3. The machine should be raised from the chock/Stowage leg. If secured on the stowage leg lift
and fold as shown in section 6.1.1
4. The machines parking brake should be released as shown in section 6.1.4
5. Using the running gear it may be necessary to raise/Lower the machine to avoid a collision
with the flat bed as the machine is carefully pulled off the transport. Use the chassis lifting and
lowering controls for this.
6. Once removed from the flat bed park the machine as shown in section 6.1.3
