GROUND SPEED
Travel speed can vary between 3 and 8 mph (5 and 13 kmph) depending on the bulk of residue and terrain conditions. The operator is responsible for noting the condition of the work, setting the speed to obtain a quality shredding job, and maintaining control of the unit.
Speed may be increased if shredding quality is good.
Decrease speed if trash is left standing or if some is not picked up.
TURNING
3-Point Mounted Units:
Always raise the unit slightly to lift rear wheels off the ground before turning. This will eliminate side loads on the wheel assembly, unless unit is equipped with caster wheels.
Pull-Type Units:
The front universal is equipped with a CV (Constant Velocity) joint to allow for turning. Although the CV joint allows for sharper turns than a regular driveline, it does have some limitations. Refer to Figure 19.
CV joint angle should not exceed 80 degrees in either operating or standstill condition of the driveline. Larger angles will damage the joint.
The angle should never exceed 35 degrees when the driveline is under full load.
NOTICE
■Disengage PTO when making sharp turns.
