Hydraulic Loader (If Present); Material Loading; Material Unloading; Engine Shut-Off - Fort MECH 35 Bedienungs- Und Wartungsanleitung

ENGLISH
In case of repairs, the carrier bed or the dumper may
be a hindrance; if this is the case, remove it from the
machine.
This operation, anyhow, must be performed by skilled per-
sonnel possibly at an authorized FORT Service Center.
With the lever (1), it is possible, moreover, to partially lift/
lower the carrier bed/dumper. In fact, you just have to
release the lever (1) when the carrier bed/dumper reaches
the required position.
DANGER
When the carrier bed/dumper is lifted, do not go near
the machine, because it may accidentally fall.
During the dumping, both manual and hydraulic one,
constantly check that there are non-foreign persons
nearby, because the unloaded material might hit
them.

4.4.3 HYDRAULIC LOADER (if present)

This section described the hydraulic loader that can be
hitched to the minitransporter. This implement is used for
loading loose material into the dumper and is operated by
a hydraulic cylinder.
4.4.4 MATERIAL LOADING (Fig. 9)
in order to correctly load the material, do as follows:
- Lower the loader (2c) by pushing the spool valve lever
forwards until the required level has been reached.
- Move the machine slowly forward, so that the material
enters the bucket.
- Raise the loader by pulling the spool valve lever towards
you (2d) until the material drops into the dumper.
- Repeat those operations until the dumper is full, or until
the material has been completely loaded.
- Lift the loading bucket in order to move the machine.

4.4.5 MATERIAL UNLOADING

DANGER
Avoid dumping the load onto slopes, because the
shifting of the same one may cause instability and
overturn the machine.
In order to correctly unload the material, operate in the
following way:
- Drive the machine where you should unload the mate-
rial.
- Make sure that the loader is fully raised. To do this, pull
the lever (2d) towards you until the two cylinders reach
end of stroke.
- Release the lever (2) and push the spool valve lever
(1a). The dumper will now lift and unload.
- Pull the spool valve lever (1b) once the operation has
terminated. The dumper will now lower and return to
the loading position.
DANGER
It is absolutely forbidden to leave the machine with the
loading bucket or dumper in the lifted position,
because they may accidentally lower and cause dam-
ages to persons or things.

4.5 ENGINE SHUT-OFF

In order to shut the engine off, shift the throttle lever to
the idling position and shift the ON/OFF (2 fig. 3) lever to
the "OFF" position. You must anyhow shut the engine off
on a flat ground and not on yielding grounds, near slopes,
ditches or steep grounds.
WARNING
The machine with the engine shut off is blocked in this
position; we suggest, therefore, to shut the engine off
after parking the machine in such a position so that
it is possible to easily reach the knob of the engine
recoil starter and have enough space to start it again
in case of need.

4.6 AFTER USE

After using the machine, park it on a flat ground inside and
clean it thoroughly. A clean and well-maintained machine
will always work at its max. capacity.
