bottom.
2. Are there hard objects in the ground? If so, use the machine at an adjusted speed.
3. Is there danger of sinking/sliding away? If so, postpone the treatment.
4. If the soil is frozen or very wet, postpone the activities until conditions improve.
8.2. Working speed
The maximum safe working speed of the machine is approx. 12 km/h (7.5 mph). However, the user
should check which speed is optimal to achieve the required result per individual situation and soil
treatment.
8.3. Filling the drum with water
If it is desired to use more weight it is possible to fill the drum with water. There is a filling plug placed
