Transport
Before transport, it is vital to switch off the drive and secure it so it cannot be switched on
accidentally or started-up by unauthorised persons.
Disconnect the machine from the mains.
▪ In addition, pull out the plug of the device.
▪ Disengage the universal joint shaft on the tractor.
– Before disengaging, turn the manual throttle to minimum.
When turning off the machine, always be careful of the saw blade runout until the machine
has come to a standstill.
Transporting by three-point linkage on the tractor
No one is permitted to stand in the area between the tractor and the machine during the
raising or lowering process.
▪ Attach the machine to the three-point linkage and use the tractor hydraulics to raise it.
If the tractor's rear lights are obscured, a light must be fitted to the rear of the machine (e.g.
magnetic holder, clip-on light, etc.)
Due to the weight of the machine, the tractor-machine combination can become unstable.
In order to test the overall stability, the following formula can be used to calculate the
minimum weight on the front side I
F,min
with a minimum front axle load of 20% of the empty
weight of the tractor:
