HAZARD AREA

ponents has stopped before approaching for ser-
vice.
Stay away from front, side, and rear of unit while it is
running. Flails can pick up stones, sticks, wire, and
other debris and throw it out with enough force to
severely injure bystanders.
Keep out of shaded area shown in Figure 18.
Shut down unit and wait for moving parts to stop before
approaching.
Figure 18. Hazard Area
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.
