Support Springs
The hydraulic rams that raise and lower the front
mounted tool are equipped with support springs; the
support pressure offered by the springs can be
adjusted to suit differing needs and applications by
altering their work position tension.
The procedure for adjusting the springs is as follows;
Raise the mounted tool fully by operation of the
hydraulic rams.
Remove bolt and washer from rod end of the ram
and release chain from lug.
Re-attach chain selecting alternative link to either
increase or decrease tension.
Replace washer and bolt to secure the chain.
Repeat the process on the opposite ram -
ensure the same link position is selected for
both sides of the machine
.
Reversible Fan
The reversible fan system is an in-built ‘self-clean’ feature designed to reduce build-up of
dirt and dust in the radiator matrix. The system is programmed to momentarily reverse
airflow by automatically adjusting the pitch of the fan blades after a pre-defined time.
By default the fan will reverse the airflow every 5 minutes, if required the pre-set time
period can be changed via the machines control panel to a time setting of your choice.
Time interval can be pre-set in user settings to a minute number in the range 3 - 30.
Reversible Fan - Mode Control
The working mode of the reversible fan can be controlled by the operator by using the fan
control switch on the remote control unit, the fan switch activates the following modes;
Manual Reverse ON:
In this position the fan will operate in ‘reverse’ mode for as
long as the switch is held in this position.
Reverse OFF:
In this position the fan reverse function is de-activated; the fan will
operate in ‘forward’ mode only.
Auto Reverse ON:
In this position the automatic fan reverse is activated; the fan
will operate in ‘forward’ mode for the pre-set time before momentarily reversing.
