PRECAUTIONS WHEN RIPPING
3
q
For the digging angle when ripping, set so that the top of
the shank is perpendicular, then lower the ripper.
q
Do not carry out ripping for long periods with the shank
tilted back. The tip of the point will wear to a round shape.
q
Do not change the direction of travel during the ripping
operation. This will cause breakage of the shank. When
changing the direction of travel, remove the shanks from
the ground before turning.
q
Never drive in reverse when the ripper point is inserted in
the bedrock. The pin installing the point will break and the
point will fall off.
Stop the machine, tilt back slightly, then raise the ripper
slowly.
q
After ripping, if the broken rock is comparatively large,
avoid traveling over the ripping path when traveling in
reverse. When traveling in reverse, check the rear care-
fully to avoid heating any large rocks. As far as possible,
choose level ground to travel over.
