PRE-OPERATION WARM-UP
DANGER
When carrying out the following procedures all bystanders MUST be kept clear tf the
machine. Failure to observe this precaution could result in serious injury or death.
IMPORTANT
Before operating the machine for harvesting it is important that the hydraulic oil is brought up to operating
temperature. If the ambient temperature is below 75 deg. F. – proceed as follows.
• Start the tractor engine.
• Allow the Hydraulic Pumps to operate and circulate oil through the system, until normal
operating temperature is indicated on the Oil Level/Temperature Gauge located on the oil tank.
Operate the following :
• Main and Dump Conveyors. Operate for several minutes.
• Cutting Head – Raise and lower.
• Depth of Cut Cylinder – Extend and Retract.
• RollMax Unit – Operate though several cycles.
• Auto-Steer – Switch ‘ON and OFF’ to operate the Shoe Lift Cylinder
IMPORTANT
To prevent damage to the Cut-Off mechanism, the Cut-Off must
only be operated when the machine is harvesting.
The above precautions will:
• Ensure that the machine will function efficiently, with the hydraulic oil at the correct temperature.
• Prevent possible damage to components due to cold hydraulic oil.
• Help to check that the machine is properly set-up, there are no oil leaks, and it is ready for harvesting.
