IT IS FORBIDDEN TO TOW THE MACHINE FOR LONG STRETCHES AND ON PUBLIC
ROADS
- WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON, it is possible to move the machine using its drive, provided that all the
regulations and instructions mentioned in this manual are observed.
In the event the machine is loaded on vans or small trucks using ramps, the procedure is the following:
- Use loading ramps able to support at least 250kg each, with non-slip surfaces and broad
enough to support the tyres.
- Keep the rotor in the highest position during the loading/unloading operations.
- On the vehicle used for transport, fix the machine using belts and the anchor points shown
in the figure below; then, activate the parking brake as explained in
BRAKE"
.
After having removed the machine from its packaging, before turning it on, read this
manual IN ITS ENTIRETY and perform the following checks:
- Seat adjustment check: check that the longitudinal adjustment works properly.
- Check that there is no debris above and around the engine.
- Check that there is no debris above and around the hydrostatic transmissions, and that the rear
transmission cooling fan is free to rotate. If it is damaged, replace it. DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE IF THE
FAN IS DAMAGED!
- Rotor visual check: are there blades that need to be replaced? Are the fixing screws correctly tightened? Is
it free to rotate? See
Chap. 7c 4)
- Protection visual check: Make sure that all front chains and/or rotor casing protective skirts are present
and intact. If some of them are broken, replace them immediately.
- Tyre pressure check: 1.5-2 bar is the recommended range. Check also the tyre tread wear state: worn tyres
lead to traction loss and are more likely to get punctured.
- Before each use, check that all the screws and Seeger rings fixing the wheels are well tightened.
