6.12.7 Folding in the machine manually rear
For reasons of stability when changing from working position to transporting position,
do not forget to first swing in the truck conveyor and only then swing in the pickup.
When swinging in the truck conveyor, work very diligently and concentrated, since
otherwise, you could severely damage the machine. ROPA therefore urgently recom-
mends that a second, reliable person be called in as flagman during the first experi-
mental attempts.
This person may in no case be standing in the rotating and swiveling range of the
truck conveyor or the counterweight.
DANGER
If a person is swept into the machinery during swiveling of the truck conveyor and
trapped, then this person may sustain fatal injuries!
– Staying under the truck conveyor when it is swung out is strictly prohibited.
– The machine operator must make sure that no people are located within the swivel-
ing range of the truck conveyor.
Hazard due to electrical current.
– In any case, pay attention to power lines located within the swiveling range of the
truck conveyor. Always keep a sufficient safety distance to these lines. This dis-
tance is always determined by the type of power line and this information must be
acquired from the competent power company.
– Remove large accumulations of soiling and deposits of earth. Pay particular atten-
tion that the area around the lower pivot point of the roller recleaner is free of earth
deposits.
– Check whether the folding/swiveling area of the truck conveyor and counterweight
arm are free of obstacles, transport vehicles or people. The driver's cabin should
always be completely raised to enable the best overview of the hazard zones.
– If the truck conveyor is positioned to the left loading direction, then the truck con-
veyor and counterweight arm must first cross over before fold-in. (see page 196)
– Use the mini joystick (1) to swivel the counterweight arm somewhat out of the cen-
tral position.
