6.14.15 Loading a transport vehicle
When loading trucks the following directions must be observed at all times to ensure
that the beets are handled as gently as possible during the loading process.
– Never change the direction of the beet flow between the infeed conveyor, pre-
cleaning and truck conveyor by 90° or more!
gentle beet flow
– Adjust the complete beet cleaning process to be as gentle as possible (lowest pos-
sible speed).
– Work at the lowest possible diesel engine speed (1,200 - 1,300 rpm) to save fuel
and protect the environment.
– Do not allow the beets to fall into the load compartment of the truck any higher than
necessary. Always lower the truck conveyor as far as possible and when starting
loading, plunge the articulation between the side walls of the truck as low as possi-
ble.
ADVICE
Important!! The rotary motions of the swivel arm and truck conveyor are actuated by
chain drives. During operation, watch the rotation movements to ensure that they are
always correct and that the chains are correctly tensioned. The chains are automati-
cally tensioned by the hydraulic system.
The machine must be stopped immediately if the chains are not correctly tensioned.
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury due to uncontrolled swivel motions of swivel arm and truck
conveyor if the chain on the rotary drive skips.
– Stop the machine immediately and have the machine checked by a mechanic.
6.14.16 After-loading function
If you still want to load a small amount of sugar beet onto the truck after the machine
has been switched off, you can easily do this using the after-loading function.
After-loading is always performed at a permanently programmed low engine speed on
which the driver has no influence.
Press the yellow key for machine drive ON/OFF (6) on the right joystick and hold it
until the desired amount of sugar beet has been loaded. The drive stops as soon as
the key is released.
