ROPA Maus 6 - Folding in Machine Automatically at Rear

Operation
Folding the machine out/in
6.13.4 Folding in machine automatically at rear
– 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.
– If at all possible, use automatic fold-in (saves time).
– Check whether the folding/swivelling area of the truck conveyor and counterweight
arm are free of obstacles, transport vehicles or people.
– Turn the rotating seat to the right or left just before the stop until the rotating seat
indicator on the R-Touch turns green.
To start the automatic folding:
– Press the analogue rocker switch (34) to the left (do not click into position because,
for safety reasons, latching-in stops all movements) and, shortly before latching-in,
hold the switch in that position until all the processes are finished.
WARNING
Hazard of extremely severe injuries.
– Make sure, that nobody stands in the hazard zones when the machine is started.
The following processes are executed automatically. During these processes,
several movements are performed simultaneously:
1 The speed of the diesel engine increases.
2 If loading in the left direction, then the truck conveyor and counterweight arm must
first cross over each other.
3 Counterweight arm is positioned somewhat left of the centre.
4 Swivel arm is turned into the transport position (swivel arm position indicator in 0-
range) and locked.
5 Recleaner swivels up to the end-stop in the transport position.
6 The truck conveyor articulation lowers down to the end-stop.
7 Counterweight arm lock moves to the end-stop.
8 Counterweight arm swivels to the centre up to the end-stop roller on the swivel
arm.
9 Counterweight arm is completely locked (clamped on the swivel arm).
10 The truck conveyor turns and lowers until it rests on the transport support.
11 The counterweight lowers down completely to the end-stop.
12 As soon as these processes are completed, the diesel engine switches to idling
speed.
ATTENTION
Always make sure that there is enough free space to perform such movements
behind and around the machine. In addition, there must be sufficient ground clear-
ance.
