(6) Push rotor control lever (4) to ROTOR ON to engage rotor assembly (2).
(7) Pull rotor boom control lever (1) back to LOWER ROTOR position until rotor assembly (2) is
fully down.
(8) Move vehicle forward to continue mixing operation.
d. Mixing Operation Shut-down Procedures.
Raising rotor too high above ground while it is operating can cause personal injury. When the rotor is
being operated at a high velocity, it will throw rocks and materials out from under the tailboard. To
avoid injury during rotor operation, personnel should remain well clear of the rear of the rotor assembly.
(1) As vehicle moves forward, push rotor boom control lever (1) forward to RAISE ROTOR position until
rotor assembly (2) just begins to raise from ground.
(2) Continue to move forward until all material is passed out of tailboard (3).
(3) Pull rotor control lever (4) to ROTOR OFF to disengage rotor assembly (2).
(4) Stop vehicle (para 2-10[c]).
(5) Push rotor boom control lever (1) fully forward to RAISE ROTOR position to raise rotor assembly (2)
above ground.
(6) Pull THROTTLE control lever (5) down to IDLE position.
(7) Pull tailboard control lever (6) down to LOWER TAILBOARD position to lower
tailboard.(3) completely.
