Where the machine is to be moved along the public
highway the tractor selected should be capable of carrying
the machine fully on the 3 point linkage.
15.3.2 Fitting The Machine Onto The Tractor
Follow the instructions given earlier in the instruction book.
Make sure the lower link stabilisers or check chains are
tight and prevent the lower link arms from moving
horizontally.
When the machine is attached fully to the tractor 3 point
linkage, raise the lower link arms sufficiently to allow the
front stand to be rotated up into the working position.
WARNING:
As the machine is supplied with a quick
hitch lower link bar it will be necessary to fit a locking
bolt to both latch plates to prevent them accidentally
opening when fitted with castor wheels, see Figure 20.
Figure 20. Latch plate locking bolt position
15.3.3 Operation
The force required to castor the wheels will be reduced if
some of the weight of the machine is taken on the tractor 3
point linkage.
The castor wheels must not be allowed to have the weight
of the tractor applied to them. If operating over undulating
surfaces it may be necessary to disconnect the top link to
allow the machine to follow the contours of the ground.
15.3.4 Unhitching The Machine
WARNING:
When disconnecting, find a level surface
to leave the machine on, drive forwards a short
distance to make sure the wheels are pointing towards the
rear.
With the machine raised on the 3 point linkage, lower the
front parking stand and secure both ends with the pins
provided. Remove the locking bolts from the lower link
latch plates (see Figure 14). Lower the tailgate fully and
drop the machine onto it’s front stand. The machine can
now be unhitched from the tractor.
15.3.5 Lubrication
Good quality semi
-
solid grease should be applied to the
following grease points:
Castor wheel pivots
(2 nipples)
Castor wheel axle pins
(2 nipples)
15.4 Screen Storage Frame
A screen storage frame is available for the Tomahawk
8555 Dual Chop machine where the screen is removed
frequently from the machine.
16.0 MACHINE STORAGE
When the machine is not being used it is recommended
that the control desk be stored safely away from the
machine in a dry location or under the cover provided on
the front of the machine. The electrical connections
together with hydraulic hoses should be stored in the
positions provided on the front of the machine. If the
machine is to be laid up for any great length of time it
should be thoroughly cleaned down and any bright
surfaces treated with paint as opposed to a rust
preventative since the machine is used for dispensing
foodstuffs. All lubrication points should be attended to
ready for subsequent reuse.
16.1 Hitch Lock
The machine has been supplied with a hitch lock to
immobilise the machine and prevent unintentional use.
Place the pin of the hitch lock into the ring or ball, insert the
locking plate and fit the padlock.
Figure 21. Hitch lock
17.0 DISPOSAL
At the end of the machine’s working life, the method of
disposal must be within the legislation laid down by the
local authority or the National Environment Agency.
The machine is composed of ferrous materials, synthetic
paints and rubber compounds.
