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 SPX 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(3.3), Tractor Ballasting (3.4), Machine Coupling & Parking (6.1), Hydraulic
connections (5.3) & Transport) When unloading it is not necessary to connect the drill control
terminal (if fitted) however all hydraulic connections bar the fan and pressureless free flow return
should be attached.
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.
2. Transport lashings should be removed from the implement in preparation for unloading
3. The machine should be raised from the packing legs either by raising the lift arms or the 3 point
frame.
4. The implement should be removed from the flat bed and then parked as per section 6.1.3.
