 4 Description of the machine

4 Description of the machine

The magnetic beam can be attached
at the front of a vehicle. Any iron
parts on the floor are collected on the
magnetic pole when the magnetic
beam passes over them and they
attach to it. This prevents damage to
tires and vehicle parts caused by iron
parts lying in the vehicle's path or
being catapulted up from the road.
The hydraulic system lifts or lowers
the magnetic beam.
The working position is then automat‐
ically fixed by the firmly mounted cas‐
tor wheels. Any iron parts attached to
the magnetic beam are later removed
by the wiper system (a metal plate
that folds down).
For better orientation and identifica‐
tion, a dipstick and a side lamp are
mounted on the right and left.
The magnetic beam is connected to
the vehicle by means of a lifting
device. The controls are hydraulic via
the vehicle hydraulic system or
optionally via a separate electro-
hydraulic system. The magnetic beam
must only be mounted on vehicles
that are suitable and have been
approved for the purpose by the man‐
ufacturer.

The magnetic beam type PMB 5100 is

additionally equipped with a fold-
down magnetic beam on the left and
right, thus achieving a large working
width. Due to the large working width,

0000000240 - 002 - en 23
4 Description of the machine

particular care must be taken when

driving so as not to collide with adja‐
cent objects.

Mounting
The initial fitting of the magnetic
beam to the vehicle may only be car‐
ried out by an Aebi Schmidt customer
service or by an authorised person.
The implement plate must fit the vehi‐
cle plate. The magnetic beam must
never be mounted to a vehicle that is
not specifically prepared for it. The
magnetic beam must only be moun‐
ted on suitable vehicles that have
been approved. Only the vehicle man‐
ufacturer can issue approval for
mounting the magnetic beam. Mount‐
ing on vehicles that are not suitable
for the purpose can cause serious
accidents. The vehicle attachment
plate must be mounted on the vehicle
and maintained in accordance with
the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines.
Incorrectly mounted vehicle plates
may fall off and cause serious acci‐
dents.
The hydraulic connections between
the magnetic beam and the vehicle
must be marked so that it is not pos‐
sible to confuse the hydraulic connec‐
tions when mounting again. To
ensure that faulty operation of the
magnetic beam with the vehicle
hydraulic system is impossible, the
