Road Transportation
- Check that the machine is free of earth, stones and
clods, tools or other items of loose equipment.
- Switch the cross conveyor direction switch on the
control panel to the OFF position. Use the fold up
switch at the rear of the machine to retract the cross
conveyor into the transport position and secure using
the transport grab bar.
- Lift the share into the transport position.
- Use the steering controls to straighten the wheels for
transport.
- Connect the 7 pin road light plug to the tractor and
check lights and indicators are fully functional.
- Switch off and disconnect the electrical supply to the
control panel.
- Disconnect the feed and return hoses and the load
sensing hose and tie up round the pedestal.
- Disconnect and remove the P.T.O. connecting tractor
with separator.
- Check that both tractor and separator tyre pressures
are inflated to the recommended pressure for road
transportation.
- Adapt road speed to take account of the conditions.
Avoid sudden turns at all times especially on up and
downhill slopes and across the face of slopes.
- Always remember that the steering and braking
behaviour of the tractor will be influenced when
towing the separator.
Apply brakes well in advance!
- When turning or at bends - take the width and load
of the separator into consideration. Dimensions and
weights of separators are noted in part 2 of the
manual.
- When parked - use tractor brakes or wheel chocks to
prevent rolling.
