Cab Protection Systems - McConnel PA6085 Operator's Manual

CAB PROTECTION SYSTEM (Early Models)
The machine features an inbuilt cab
protection system to safeguard the rear
crossmember of the tractor cab from
possible damage caused by the arms
coming into contact
transportation or when the arms are being
manoeuvred directly behind the tractor.
The system consists of a shoe stop
attached to the machine's pillar and
connected to the main frame by an
adjustable link; the geometry of the system
causes the stop to progressively rise into
position behind the rocker as the arms are
slewed rearwards.
On initial installation of the machine the link
must be adjusted to set the stop at the
correct height for the particular application –
once set it will not require any further
adjustment unless the machine is removed
and used on another tractor.
In transport position the rocker must be
clear of the cab protection stop by 5mm
minimum - NOT IN CONTACT.
Clearance Warning Decal ►
When operating the slew function with the
machine positioned to the rear of the tractor
ensure the rocker remain sufficiently clear
of the stop at all times. When placing the
machine into the transport position the arms
should be directly in line with the tractor
before finally operating 'lift up' and/or 'reach
in' to position the rocker just clear of the
stop - the gap should be a minimum of
5mm.
In the same manner when moving out of
transport 'lift down' and/or 'reach out' should
be the initial operation to move the rocker
clear of the stop before operation of slew.
Ensure rocker is moved clear of cab
protection stop before slewing the arms ►
