3.1. PLACEMENT & OPERATION PROCEDURE
Note: All control functions are illustrated on the machine with instructional decals, see
Figure 2.4. Take time to learn the controls prior to operating the machine.
1. Fully engage the wheel
drive over-centers
(Figure 3.1). Start
the engine.
2. Remove the lock from
the spike cylinder and
secure to the side of the
spike for operation
(Figure 3.2).
3. Remove the locking pin
from the wheel arm
mount (Figure 3.3) and
move the arm down into
working mode (Figure
3.1). Replace the
locking pin under the
hitch to secure the
wheel arm in working
position (Figure 3.3).
Do not operate without
locking pin in place.
4. Once the machine is in
operating position, feather the hydraulic controls to maneuver the machine
(see Figure 3.4 for controls).
5. Fully retract the hitch to enhance the turning radius of the machine. This will
also place the spike in a safer position.
Warning: Before continuing, ensure you have read and understand the relevant information
in the safety section. Safety information is provided to help prevent serious injury, death, or
property damage.
WARNING
Stay away from spike when operating
machine. If a foot is under the machine during
operation, the spike could penetrate it.
