Chapman AH200 Instrucciones página 5

Operation
Ensure that the operator is suitably qualified to use a machine of this nature and that they have fully read and understood this manual - they
should be aware of all safety aspects relating to the safe use of the machine.
AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR OF WORK WITH A NEW MACHINE, ALL NUTS AND BOLTS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR TIGHTNESS AND
Operation
1. Set desired tine angle with machine in transport position (ie. height at maximum). Recommended start position is middle hole on tine
adjustment.
2. Drive onto surface and using control box lower tines onto ground until all the axle lifts off the surface. Continue to raise the axle fully.
The working height of the AH200 is set by the level of the rear roller at the back of the machine and the spring tines at the front. You
should aim for the main frame of the AH200 to be level when working as a starting point.
3. Drive around the surface and examine the results – if the S tines are too deep and aggressive then adjust the drawbar to raise the front
of the machine slightly (and as such reduce the working depth of the S tines slightly) Conversely, if the S Tines are not being aggressive
enough, adjust the drawbar height down accordingly.
4. Following first adjustments, again drive around the surface and examine the results, re-adjusting as necessary. If needed you can also
adjust the setting of the 4 rows of following tines to be more of less aggressive as required by moving the black lever located just
behind the drawbar.
5. If you find that the front row and rear rows of following tines are doing an uneven amount of work then raise or reduce the level of the
rear roller accordingly to adjust this.
6. Once a suitable height setting is found it generally does not need to be changed, however it is advisable to make a mark on the frame of
the machine using an indelible pen or similar such that this setting can easily be recalled if changes are required in the future.
Forward Speed
A forward speed of up to 10km/h will typically produce the best results, however this may need to be reduced depending on the surface
conditions and any obstacles that may be present in the arena.
Storage
Machines should always be stored under cover and protected from the elements accordingly.
For extended periods of storage, it is advisable that the machine be kept in a clean dry environment protected from the elements to avoid risk of
corrosion.
