2 - Bearing in mind that safety demands attention,
caution, concentration and discretion during
coupling and disengaging operations, adjustments,
inspections, maintenance and storage of the
Plane.
3 -
Only people with the knowledge about the
equip ment should operate it and perform
repairs and adjustments, with maximum safety;
4 - Be sure that there is nobody near the Plane
every time you lift or lower it;
5 - Never perform adjustments, cleaning, lubrica-
tion or material removal from the Plane with
the blade lifted up, before using the safety lock
(1) on the lifting cylinder and on the wheel
cylinder (3) of the equipment.
Note: after use it, alwayskeep the lock
(1) on the support and install the cotter pin
(2) as shown on the picture.
6 - Never allow children to play on the Plane.
7 - Never let tools on the Plane after maintenance
services.
8 -
Wear appropriate clothes and shoes during
any type of operation or maintenance.

Plane Carrying
ATTENTION!
GTS Brasil does not recommend equipment transit in roads and highways.
Besides safety serious risks involved, Transit Legislation prohibits such driving.
However, if you're going to do it, it is stated that GTS is totally exempt of any
responsibility.
The equipments carrying in roads must be done with truck and even so, observing
a series of cares, such as side and height excess, the right equipment attachment to
the car body, mobile components locking and others.
Plane displacement until the work place (transport position)
For a simple Plane displacement from one work place to another, it is
necessary to put it in a "transport position", activating the hydraulic
cylinders and performing the adjustments as follows:
- Side displacement cylinder of the Plane: (C1)
half course extended, so that the structure (3)
remains aligned with the Plane heading.
- Cylinder (C2): totalli closed with the blade
pressed on the ground.
- Blade (C3) rotation cylinder: rotate the blade
totally to one of the sides, so that it narrows
the width, which means: one cylinder must
remain totally secluded and other totally
extended.
- Blade (C4) vertical inclination cylinder:
extended to half course so that the Plane remains
parallel to the ground, and with the safety
lock (1).
-Reflectors Triangles (C5), should be
totally open.
- ST mechanic model, activate the pivot (C6)
and rotate the blade, decreasing the width.
To do this, activate the lever (2) to the desired
angle.

it remains parallel to the ground.
To do it, put the selector (D) at "Inclination"
position and activate the cylinder with the
lever (34) from teh remote control.
b) Activate the Plane lifting cylinder Plane
to support the blade on the ground.
To do it, put the selector (E) at "Lifting"
position and activate the cylinder with
the lever (12) from the remote control.
c)
Remove the coupling pivot and move the
tractor some centimeters from the heading.
d)
Close the lifting cylinder so that the heading
front remains distant from the ground.
e)
Disconnect the hydraulic hoses (1 and 2)
from the remote control.
Note:
If some residual pressure remains in the
hoses making difficult the disconnection,
turn off the tractor engine and activate
levers (12 e 34) from the remote control
in both directions.

4.3 - Wheels Ballasting (with water)
The Plane wheels ballasting is recommended to allow more firmness
and stability to the Plane set.
The tires (14-9-26) used on the HD Plane, allow the introduction of 182
liters of water each, which give a good ballasting.
The tires (12-4-24) used on the ST Plane, allow the introduction of 114
liters of water each, which give a good ballasting.
Procedure:
a) Lift the wheel with a jack and rotate it
until the valve (air nozzle) remains on
the upper part.
b) Replace the valve for a device (1), which
allows at the same time, water introduction
and air discharge by the purge tube
(2).
c) When the water starts to flow by the tube (2)
the correct volume (75%) of water was
reached.
d) Remove the device (1) and reinstall the
air valve (air nozzle).
e) Calibrate the tire with the recommended
pressure on page 23.
Notes:
Never exceed 75% water filling
volume, which is the rim upper
edge. Tire with water excess
could not absorb ground impacts,
causing useful life decreasing
and even a break on it.
In low temperature condition
(around Zero or below 0º C),
it can be used an anti-freezing
liquid such as calcium chloride,
0,4 kg per water liter proportion.
Tires deflation ballasted with
water
Lift the wheel with a jack and rotate it
so that the valve remains down.
Remove the valve and let it flow all the water
in the tire.
If necessary, introduce a purge tube until the
basis of the tire and, to force the water to come
out, pressurize it with air.
2
Wrong: tire full of water, isn't able to
absorbe impacts.

4.4 - Wheels Opening Adjustment (gauge)
Note:
To perform the gauge alteration,
assembly the right side wheel on
the left side and vice-versa.
With this, the tires rotation is preserved.
Procedure to make the changing:
a) Release the wheels fixation nuts.
b) Wedge the rear part of the Plane with
a jack positioned under the structure, as
indicated by the arrow.
c) Remove both wheels and change them
according to the desired gauge.
d) Reinstall the fixation nuts, lower the
Plane to the ground and give the final 391
N.m tighten to the nuts.
- The smaller gauge could be used
if necessaryonly to carry it on load vehicles
with maximum width
of 2,4 m of its platform.
-For all working situations, it is
necessary to use the bigger gauge (pic. 2)
-For HD, the 2345 mm gauge and for ST,
2250 mm gauge: assembly the wheels with
the disc (1) with cavity turned inside
- Pic. I
-For HD, 2750 mm gauge and for ST, 2650
mm: assembly the wheels with the disc (1)
with cavity turned outside - Pic. II.
Attention!
Use close tires,
only for transport.
