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.
