SAFETY
In addition to the standard safety guidelines listed at the
eginning of this hand ook, the following special safety
items apply to the Telehawk.
1 The machine shall e operated y one person
only.
2NEVER put your hands inside the delivery
chutes. In the event of a lockage clear it
using the Blockage Removal Tool provided,
located on the front of the lower housing. First,
disengage the hydraulic pump, lower the machine to
the ground, apply the hand rake, stop the engine,
remove the key, and wait for the rotor to come to
rest.
3 NEVER enter the ale cham er unless the
machine has een lowered to the ground, the
engine has een stopped with key removed
from the ignition, and the machine has come to rest
(see note 2 a ove).
4 NEVER insert anything inside the chute or
ale cham er while the machine is running.
5 DANGER. When entering or leaving the ale
cham er take care, the floor surface may e
slippery.
6Beware of overhead power lines when the swivel
chute deflector is fully raised. Contact with power
lines could result in the operator receiving a severe
electric shock.
7Do not clim onto the top edges of the ale cham er
whilst the machine is in use.
8Do not allow anyone to ride on the machine.
9Do not allow persons or animals to stand in front of
the outlet chutes whilst the machine is running.
10 Do not lower the machine if any person or animal is
standing in the loading area in front of the machine,
always ensure good forward visi ility when lowering
the machine.
11 Never put your hand over a hydraulic leak. Oil under
pressure may enter the lood stream.
12 The spreading of dusty or mouldy material can
create dust which may have adverse health effects.
Operator exposure to such conditions should e
avoided where possi le. When circumstances
prevent this, either use a loader with a suita le
forced air ca filtration system or an adequate
respirator. Respirators must comply with the relevant
Standard and e approved y the Safety
Inspectorate. Disposa le filtering face piece
respirators to EN149 or half mask respirators to
EN140 fitted with filters to EN 143 are likely to e
adequate.
13 Before disconnecting the hydraulic hoses always
lower the machine onto the ground for safety
reasons and to avoid residual pressure in the hoses.
14 Care must e taken when handling large ales, as
they have sufficient weight and density to cause
serious injury. Large ales should e handled with
appropriate machinery either directly into the
Telehawk or into a position where they can e self
loaded. Do not manually load ales from the stack
a ove the machine, so as to prevent the risks of
falling into the machine and collapse of the stack of
ales.
15 Caution after prolonged intensive use of the machine,
the oil temperature will have risen causing the hoses
and fittings to e hot.
LEFT AND RIGHT HAND
In this Hand ook and Parts List, the terms Left and
Right Hand apply to the machine when viewed from the
drivers seat of the loader.
USE OF THE TELEHAWK
The machine is designed to spread only dry straw ales.
The machine must never e run with the chute
components removed. Unapproved chute modifications
should not e carried out as Safety Regulations may e
infringed.
USE ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY
If the machine is attached to the front of the loader
it is not recommended that the loader is driven on a
pu lic highway.
If the machine is to e transported along the pu lic
highway (any road where the pu lic have access)
ehind the loader, it may e necessary to fit lights to
comply with local road traffic legislation, as the machine
is likely to o scure the loader rear light units.
Suita le lighting kits are availa le from your local
supplier or may e o tained y contacting Teagle
Machinery.
Failure to comply with road traffic legislation may lead to
prosecution y local law enforcement agencies and
could also result in a road traffic accident.
LOADER SPECIFICATIONS
Lifting capacity: Minimum of 2.6 tonnes.
Oil flow: Minimum oil flow of 60 litres per min (13.3
gallons per min). Maximum oil flow of 120 litres per min
(26.6 gallons per min).
Oil pressure: Minimum of 160 ar (2320 psi). Maximum
of 270 ar 3915psi @ 80 °C (176 °F)
Return line pressure: Maximum 20 ar (290psi).
The hydraulic system requires a single acting valve with
an unrestricted return. We recommend fitting an internal
Ø3/4” return line direct to tank. Operating the machine
without a free flow return will result in higher than
recommended ack pressures causing failure of seals in
oth the valve and motors.
Oil fittings: We recommend using flat face hydraulic oil
fittings with a minimum 24.5mm orifice to allow enough
oil to flow freely. Smaller fittings like 1/2” agricultural
fittings will work ut can restrict flow causing ack
pressure resulting in heat generation.
However, the suita ility of any particular loader will
depend upon,
a) the size and weight of the ale to e spread.
) the extent to which the oom is to e extended.
