Operation
– Set up the overall beet cleaning system with an eye to treating the beets as carefully
as possible (i.e. lowest possible speeds).
– Work at the lowest possible diesel engine speed (1200-1300 rpm) to both save fuel
and to protect the environment.
– Avoid letting the beets fall into the loading compartment of the transport vehicle
deeper than absolutely required. For this purpose, lower the truck conveyor as far as
possible and, at start of loading, let the articulation go as deep as possible between
the walls of the transport vehicle.
Important!! The turning movements of the swivel arm and truck conveyor are
executed using chain drives. Always observe the turning movements during
operation to ensure that the turning movements are correctly executed and
that the chains are still correctly tensioned. Chain tensioning is automatically
executed hydraulically. If the chains are not correctly tensioned, then the machine
must be shut down immediately.
Danger! Risk of lethal injuries as the result of uncontrolled swivel movements of the
swivel arm and truck conveyor if the chain on the rotating drive skips. Switch off the
machine immediately and have the fault remedied by specialist personnel.
6.13.22 Continued loading function
If, after switching off the machine, you would like to place a slight quantity on the
transport vehicle, well dosed, then you may comfortably do this using the continued
loading function.
The continued loading function is always performed using a pre-programmed low engine
speed that the driver cannot influence in any way.

To use this function, press the machine drive ON/OFF button (6) on the right joystick
and keep it pressed until the desired beet volume has been loaded using continued
loading. When you release the button, the drive stops.
