5. Driving the machine
DANGER: When the seat is turned toward the crane and the crane control switch (13) is on, the crane movements are functional. Do not move the control handles unless you know how to control the crane. Do not use the switches in the control handle or switch panel unless stated otherwise in the instructions.
IMPORTANT: When transporting a machine with a parallel crane, the tip of the crane boom must be lifted from the ground. See section 5.1 first.​​

 

 

5.1 Moving a machine with a parallel crane by driving

L Left control handle

R Right control handle

1 Booms down

2 Booms up

 

The following crane movements do not normally need to be operated when moving a machine:

3 Luffing boom out

4 Luffing boom in

5 Turning the crane to the left

6 Turning the crane to the right

 

14 Crane base tilt with the pedal

  • A forward
  • B backward

 

1. Remove the transportation supports for PONSSE handles before using the handles (for driving the machine).

2. Switch on the crane control switch (13).

3. Lift the booms so that the crane head is approximately one (1) metre above the ground.

4. See section Driving the machine.

5. When driving, monitor that the crane remains aligned with the machine centreline. Otherwise the harvester head saw box can touch the tyre and damage both the tyre and the harvester head.

6. Switch off the crane control switch (13).

6 Stopping the engine

6.1 Normal engine stop

 

 

6.2 Emergency engine stop

The engine stops by pressing the emergency stop push button (10/12) until it bottoms. The parking brake is activated automatically (the parking brake switch (11) remains in the OFF position), the steps are lowered. The hydraulic operations stop. The power and electric functions remain active.

The engine cannot be started when the emergency stop button is down. Release the button by turning it clockwise.

Before restarting the engine, switch the parking brake switch to the ON position.

 

6.3 Auxiliary start-up of the engine

ATTENTION: If auxiliary current is needed, be careful with the short circuiting and sparking of the batteries. Explosion hazard!
ATTENTION: When the machine is equipped with an extinguishing system, note that the extinguishing system does not work if any of the battery cables are disconnected or the extinguishing system fuse has been removed.
IMPORTANT: If you are uncertain about what to do, contact a person who can help you with auxiliary starting or contact an authorised PONSSE service.
