To Disengage the Hopper Safety ARM, Machine Jacking

TO DISENGAGE THE HOPPER SAFETY ARM

1.Raise the hopper.

2.Place the safety arm in its storage position on the inside of the hopper lift arm.

3.Lower the hopper.

TOWING OR PUSHING MACHINE

Gas and diesel powered machines may be pushed or towed easily by bypassing the transmission. To do this raise the rear cover and remove the belt guard. Locate the transmission. On the rear of the transmission is a plunger valve. Push the valve in as far as possible and pivot up the tow bar valve just next to the valve. This bar is supplied to lock the valve in the “IN” position. The machine can now be easily pushed or towed up to 4 mph (7 kilometers/hr).

Do not exceed 4 mph (7 kilometers/hr) as damage to the transmission may result.

When towing is complete, slide tow valve bar out of the way to release valve.

MACHINE JACKING

The machine may be jacked up for service or inspection by using the specified jack locations. Always block the tires when jacking up the machine.

The right front jack location is the base of the side broom, just ahead of the right tire.

The left front jack location is the lower front frame channel just ahead of the left front tire.

The rear jack location is the steel beam mount located at the rear of the machine, centered under the plastic bumper.

MACHINE TIE-DOWNS

There is a tie-down location at each corner of the machine. The front attach points are the frame cutouts located directly above each front tire. The rear attach points are the right and left lower flange of the frame channels, where they join the rear bumper. An alternate single rear attach point is around the pivot of the rear axle beam, located at the center of the machine behind the rear jack point.

NOTE: When transporting the machine on a trailer or in a truck, in addition to tie-downs, be sure to set the machine parking brake, and block the tires to prevent the machine from rolling.
