Removing the padfoot shells
Hitch the top half shell to the crane with a chain, and carefully lift it off
the drum.
Attach the tension strap [1] such that the buckle [2] is located before
the end of the shell half.
Start the diesel engine.
Slowly reverse the machine until the drum is on the clamp connection
[3].
Switch off the diesel engine and remove the ignition key.
Push a square timber [1] to each clamp connection.
Start the diesel engine, and drive the machine slowly backwards until
the centre of the drum lies approximately 150 mm (6") from the ends
of the square timbers [C].
Switch off the diesel engine and remove the ignition key.
