NOTICE!
Damage due to closed locking mechanism
If
the pendulum frame locking mechanism is closed, vibrations caused by driving are transmitted to
the frame without suspension. This will take a heavy toll especially on the boom.
u
Open the pendulum frame locking mechanism before driving with the spreader.
As soon and the pendulum frame is unlocked, spreading can start even if the end sections are
folded in.
u
Press the Fold out end sections function key until the time has elapsed and the boom end
sections are fully folded out on both sides.
The end sections are folded out.
8.5 Manual adjustment of the boom
You can use the control unit or the joystick to manually adjust the boom height and inclination.
Y
ou can only do this automatically with the corresponding optional equipment, see 4.4.3
DistanceControl
DANGER!
Risk of injury due to insufficient operating height and inclination of the boom
When
one side of the boom is inclined, the other side inclines in the opposite direction. Collision of
the booms with the ground, e.g., on slopes, can lead to severe personal injury. It can also cause
severe damage to the machine.
u
Ensure that nobody is present in the hazard zone.
u
Do not set the operating height on the baffles of the innermost bend to less than 0.7 m above
the existing plants.
u
If the terrain is very uneven, select a higher operating height to prevent the boom from
making contact with the ground.
Because the individual spreading angles overlap, a higher operating height does not have a
negative ef
fect on the spreading pattern.
The DistanceControl
function (special equipment) automatically adjusts the height and the
inclination. Manual adjustments are also possible if the DistanceControl function is deactivated or not
available.
