5. First-time operation
As for all work, observe the safety instructions.
At worksites it is recommended that persons in the immediate vicinity
do not approach the area of work, and in particular from within the
trajectory of possible projectiles thrown by the rotor.
It is desirable for a new operator who may already be familiar with the operation of the tractor/cv to
acquire experience in an area which is smooth, at and free of obstacles where he may concentrate
fully on the operation of the machine.
5 1Beforestartingwork
- Check that the control unit in the cab is mounted securely.
- Check the condition of the blades/ails and hydraulic hoses.
- Remove the locking pin from the tool if necessary.
5 2Startingtherotor
- Disengage the transport hook. (gure 1.25)
- Extend the arm and lower the tool to the ground in the working position.
- Start the engine and set to a speed approximately 500rpm below the required speed for your choice
of PTO speed.
- Select the direction of rotation and engage the rotor. Allow a warm up time of several minutes.
Allow the machine to run at the speed recommended by
your NOREMAT technician for several minutes. This is very
important in temperatures of less than 5 degrees C.
- Increase the engine speed progressively to the gure given by your NOREMAT technician at the time
of installation / test
Ignoring the recommended NOREMAT rotor start-up procedure will lead to
damage of the machine systems.
- abnormal overheating of the hydraulic circuit.
- increased oil ow and deterioration of the hydraulic hoses.
- bearing failure.
