HOPPER SAFETY SUPPORT

WARNING!
Before performing any maintenance procedure under or near to the lifted hopper, fully lift the hopper with the
lever (54), then pull the handle (39) backwards to make sure that the hopper safety support (5) is in place. The
hopper safety support holds the hopper lifted to allow working under the hopper. Never rely on the machine's
hydraulic components to safely support the hopper.

JACKING THE MACHINE

WARNING!
Never work under a machine without safety stands or blocks to support the machine.
When jacking the machine, do so at designated locations (do not jack on the hopper) - see jacking locations (8).

MACHINE TRANSPORT

WARNING!
Before transporting the machine on an open truck or trailer, make sure that:
– All access doors are latched securely.
– The machine is tied down securely.
– The parking brake is engaged.

PUSHING/TOWING THE MACHINE

CAUTION!
The hydraulic pump can be damaged if the machine is towed when the screw is in the normal working position
(locked).
The machine hydraulic pump (44) is equipped with an unlocking screw. The system prevents damage to the hydraulic system when
the machine is being towed/pushed for short distances without using the motor.
To access the unlocking screw, operate according to the following procedure:
1. Open the battery compartment hood (1) by using the unlocking push-button (25) and locate the hydraulic pump (44) in the front
part of the motor (27).
2. Turn the socket head screw (A, Fig. 1) half turn counter-clockwise (B) to disengage the hydrostatic lock between the motor and
the pump.
3. Tow or push the machine no faster than a normal walking pace (maximum 4 km/h) and for short distances only.
NOTE
If the machine is to be moved long distances the rear driving wheels need to be raised off the floor and placed on a
suitable transport dolly.
4. After pushing/towing the machine, turn the socket head screw half turn clockwise (C) to reset the hydrostatic lock and hydraulic
functions.
NOTE
If the screw is left in unlocking position, the hydraulic pump cannot drive the machine.
