Removing Conditioner

Remove the conditioner to repair or change the conditioner.
DANGER
Ensure that the spreader bar is secured to the forks so that it cannot slide off the forks or towards the mast while
detaching the conditioner from the rotary disc pull-type.
DANGER
Ensure that all bystanders have cleared the area.
1. Attach spreader bar (A) to a forklift or equivalent lifting
device, and attach chains to lugs (B) on the conditioner. Use
a chain rated for overhead lifting with a minimum working
load of 1135 kg (2500 lb.).
DANGER
To prevent the conditioner from falling backward, ensure the
lifting chains are secure and tight. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
