Parking
-
The machine should be parked on a flat surface, as it may roll on its own if left on an incline. The machine has no active brakes when powered off.
-
If parking on a flat surface is not possible, the wheels and/or the entire machine must be secured to prevent rolling.
- The robot should never be parked on an incline greater than the recommended operating incline of 7°.
- If the machine must be parked on an incline, it is recommended that the robot's right or left side faces downhill, as this provides more stability than having the front or rear facing downhill.
- If the machine must be parked on an incline, ensure that it cannot pose a risk to life or health if, despite the above precautions, it begins to roll.
-
The machine must be parked in a location where children and unauthorized persons cannot easily access it and come into contact with residual plant protection chemicals.
Transportation
Towing
- The machine must not be towed, as this may damage the machine's components.
- The robot's wheels should only roll when driven by the robot’s own motors.
- If the robot is towed or pushed, the motors will act as generators and produce a voltage that can damage the control panel.
- During all forms of transport, except self-transport, the wheels must not have ground contact.
Lifting the Machine
Danger: Humans and animals must never be underneath the robot when it is in a lifted position. Being under the robot may result in injury or, in the worst case, death.
- If the machine, or parts of it, need to be lifted slightly off the ground (e.g., with a jack), the contact point with the machine must be underneath the motor compartment (insert image here).
- The robot can also be lifted using lifting straps. The straps must be attached to the four designated points on the frame (insert image here).
Storage
By "storage," long-term parking is meant. See the "Parking" section for recommendations on parking.
Winter Storage
For winter storage, all hoses and components in the spraying system should be emptied.
