3.4.3 EMERGENCY OPERATION
To return the display in its transport mode in the event of a fault, it’s
possible to use a bypass on the hydraulic unit in the rear compartment,
as shown in Figure 6. The bypass should be turned on so the oil
automatically flows back into the reservoir. After that, the display will go
‘DOWN’ in its transport mode.
3.5 TOWING, LIFTING, TRANSPORTING
3.5.1 ON/ UNHITCHING THE MACHINE
After every coupling operation, check whether the trailer tongue is firmly
fitted on the towing vehicle‘s tow ball. If the coupling is not properly
performed, the trailer might detach itself from the towing vehicle
and can cause an accident. On/ unhitching the machine works as
follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from the handbrake;
2. Connect the coupling;
3. Connect the breakaway cable on the towing vehicle;
4. Connect the 13-pin connecter with the socket of the towing
vehicle;
5. Now, the machine is successfully coupled.
For uncoupling, please use the same steps above vice versa.
3.5.2 LIFTING MACHINE
By means of the sleeves in the chassis, it is possible to lift the machine
with a forklift truck. Take the full advantage of the length of the spoons
to hold the ‘arm’ as small as possible.
- BELANGRIJK -
The forklift truck must be able to lift at least 2.000 kg.
3.5.3 LIFTING MACHINE
The machine can be lifted through 4 extendible stamps.
