Transporting Machine

causym CAUTION: DO NOT exceed maximum transport speed of 49 km/h (31 mph) or you may lose control of machine, causing serious injury or death to you or others.

Transport machine at narrowest tread adjust setting only.

1. Be sure SMV emblem is installed on boom (or rear of machine).

2. Start engine.

3. Turn light switch (A) to transport position (B) (as necessary). Check that amber warning lights are flashing and that all lights are clean and visible.

4. Adjust tread width to narrowest position. (See Setting Tread Width in Chassis section.)

IMPORTANT: Machine may be damaged if transported with booms not completely lowered onto boom supports.

Hold Boom Lower switch for 5 seconds to ensure boom contacts and is supported by front boom support.

Boom Return to Height will remain active after boom is folded. When lowering boom onto supports, boom may stop at set point if it is above support rest height. Boom can be lowered beyond set point by pressing Boom Lower switch again.

5. Fold booms. (See Folding Boom in Booms section.)

6. If nozzles are dripping, relieve boom pressure. (See Relieving Boom Pressure in Wet System section.)

7. Push throttle switch forward to achieve maximum engine speed.

4730 Maximum Transport Load

8. Select appropriate target speed range (30 mph maximum). When machine is started, Low Range is automatically selected by the Chassis Control Unit.

IMPORTANT: Road transport with loaded solution tank is not recommended for the 4730 sprayer.

Road transport in excess of 8 km (5 mi.) with tank loads above these limitations may result in premature wear, failure, or personnel injury. Exceeding these limitations may void manufactures warranty.

Tire Size Maximum Transport Load
320/90R46 Empty
380/90R46 1514 L (400 gal.)
420/80R46 1514 L (400 gal.)
520/85R38 1514 L (400 gal.)

 

causym CAUTION: When transporting machine downhill at transport speeds, machine will try to hold the target speed until engine begins to overspeed. At this time the vehicle speed could increase beyond target speed. Before starting down a hill, select a speed range (30 mph maximum) that is appropriate for the load on the machine and the steepness and length of the slope.

9. Push multifunction control handle slowly forward to start forward travel. Continue pushing handle forward to increase ground speed. When engine reaches maximum RPM, push top of target speed switch to advance to higher speed range, if desired.

10. To reverse direction of travel, move multifunction control handle to neutral and press brake pedal as required to bring machine to a complete stop, then move handle to the right and rear to back up machine. Reverse speed available is proportional to the target speed selected.
