4.2PRELIMINARY CHECKS
When you receive the machine, check that it is complete and no parts are missing.
If there are any damaged parts, inform your local reseller or UNIGREEN directly in good time.
When the machine is delivered, make sure you ask:
a)that the machine is delivered with all of its parts fitted and that the fitting meets the requisites in table N°
This procedure is necessary because for reasons of space during transportation the machine is often delivered partially dismantled.
b)that it is tested in your presence in particular checking:
=that the suction filter and the inside of the tank are clean and free of work residues.
=that the connections are made correctly following the basic layout (FIG. N° 17, page 16).
=that the hose clips and all the unions and connections are tightened properly.
=that all of the protective covers are fitted solidly to the machine, in particular the protective cover of the
=that the multiplier is sufficiently supplied with lubricant oil.
=that the zone where the fan turns hasn’t been bent by knocks during transportation.
4.3TRANSPORTING AND MOVING THE MACHINE
Every time you have to lift the machine, before starting the operation, always make sure the lifting gear and the relevant tools and equipment (cables, hooks, etc..) are suitable for lifting the load and check the stability of the same.
It is forbidden to unhook and move the machine with the tank full.
The dry weight of the machine at the maximum level of fitting and with all the accessories allowed is stamped on the nameplate; use slings and lifting gear with a adequate
Never lift or move the mistblowers by hand if there is liquid in the tank. The machine will weigh more and the movement of the liquid can change the centre of gravity causing uncontrolled movements.
We recommend using slings as shown in the figure, the lifting points to use on the machine are indicated with the relevant symbol.
Don’t lift the machine with the forks of a forklift truck because the machine can tip over due to the overhanging weight of the blower group.
Don’t pass or stand under the machine when it is being lifted.
4.3.1TOWED ATOMISERS PARKING
Don’t stand the mistblower on unstable ground or steep slopes, the machine is designed to be parked safely on compact ground with a slope of up to 8.5° using the relevant chocks (FIG. 4) in the following way:
- Machine parked with drawbar uphill (max 8.5°), place the chocks behind the wheels.
- Machine parked with drawbar downhill (max 8.5°), place the chocks in front of the wheels.
- Machine parked across the slope (max 8.5°), place one chock in front of the drawbar wheel (in the direction of the slope) and the other in front of the wheel uphill.
MOVING
To lift the machine, follow the instructions above.
The towed mistblowers have an extendable drawbar parking wheel so the machine can be moved around by hand on flat, compact ground, with the tank empty.
To make moving the mistblower around easier when it is disconnected from the tractor, on the machine and on the drawbar there are supports for positioning the:
-cardan shaft: hinged rest on the drawbar parking wheel.
-manual pressure regulator: bayonet housing on the drawbar.
-electric pressure regulator: pushbutton panel support (the cable must be coiled around the same to stop it getting in the way).
-Brake levers if fitted: bayonet housing on the drawbar.
