Unloading; Traveling; Hills; Parking - TYCROP ProPass 180 Top Dresser Manual Del Operador

The stability of loads can vary—for example, high loads
will have a higher center of gravity. Reduce the maximum
load limits to ensure better stability, if necessary.
To avoid causing the ProPass to tip over (see safety decal
TY-411 in this manual):
•
Carefully monitor the height and weight of the load.
Higher and heavier loads can increase the risk of
tipping.
•
Distribute the load evenly, front to back and side to
side.
•
Be careful when turning and avoid unsafe
manoeuvres.
: Do not put large or heavy objects into the
I
MPORTANT
hopper. Material that is larger than the rear gate
opening may damage the belt and rear gate assembly.
Also ensure that the load has a uniform texture. Small
rocks in sand can become projectiles.
: Do not carry passengers in the
W
ARNING
hopper.

Unloading

Do not stand behind the ProPass when unloading or
spreading. The Twin Spinner and the Vortex Brush options
eject particles and dust at a high speed.
Do not unload the ProPass while it is on a slope.
: Ensure that the ProPass is
W
ARNING
connected to the tow vehicle before
unloading. Otherwise, the load may shift
and the ProPass may tip over.

Traveling

The ProPass is designed only for off-road use. The
maximum recommended speed without a load is 24 km/h
(15 mi/h).
Maintain safe control of the ProPass. Do not attempt sharp
turns, abrupt manoeuvres, or other unsafe driving actions.

Slow down before turning, especially on wet, sandy, and
slippery surfaces. Turning clearances are limited if you
have an option mounted on the ProPass.
: Be aware of your surroundings
C
AUTION
when turning or backing up. Ensure that
the area is clear and keep all bystanders at
a safe distance. Proceed slowly.
Turn off the option when approaching people, vehicles,
vehicle crossings, or pedestrian crossings.
Note: Heavy loads and wet or rough surfaces increase the
time it takes to stop, and reduce the ability to turn quickly
and safely.

Hills

: Do not drive the ProPass on
W
ARNING
slopes over 12 degrees. Use extreme
caution when traveling on hills with
slopes under 12 degrees, especially when
turning.
Always travel straight up and down hills—do not travel
sideways or on a diagonal. Stopping distance increases
when traveling down a hill.
Reduce the weight of the load when traveling on hills.
Avoid piling the load high—a higher center of gravity
increases the risk of the ProPass tipping over on hills.
If you have an option on the ProPass, be aware of the
ground clearance when traveling on hills. When the
ProPass begins to travel up a slope, the ground clearance
decreases.

Parking

Always park the ProPass on a firm, horizontal, and level
surface. Place blocks under two wheels of the ProPass
(front and back).
: Do not disconnect the
W
ARNING
ProPass from the tow vehicle on a slope.
Ensure that the front jack is in the support
position.
To rotate the jack stand from a down support position to a
traveling horizontal position, pull out the jack stand
